Onderwerp: [cabfpub] Ballot 200 - Amendment of Bylaws to add Code of Conduct
Ballot 200
Purpose of Ballot: To amend the CAB Forum Bylaws to add a Code of Conduct.
The following motion has been proposed by Virginia Fournier of Apple and
endorsed by Gervase Markham of Mozilla and Tarah Wheeler of Symantec.
—MOTION BEGINS—
1. A new Section 6.4 will be added to the Bylaws of the CAB Forum, and will
read in its entirety as follows:
“Section 6.4
All Members shall abide by the CAB Forum Code of Conduct, which is attached to
these Bylaws as Exhibit C.”
2. A new Exhibit C will be added to the Bylaws, and will read in its entirety
as follows:
“Exhibit C
CAB Forum Code of Conduct (the “Code")
The CAB Forum (the “Forum") is comprised of a global group of professionals
with differences in language, skills, expertise, experience, and backgrounds.
To maintain a professional and productive environment, it is necessary for
Members of the Forum to follow the letter and spirit of this Code. This Code
applies to all official Forum activities, such as meetings, teleconferences,
mailing lists, conferences, and other Forum functions. The Forum is committed
to maintaining a professional and respectful environment.
All Member representatives are expected to behave in a collegial and
professional manner in accordance with this Code. Members will familiarize
their representatives with this Code and require them to comply with the letter
and spirit of this Code.
I. Conduct. The Forum is committed to providing a friendly, safe, and
welcoming environment for all, regardless of gender, gender identity and
expression, sexual orientation, disability, personal appearance, body size,
race, ethnicity, age, religion, nationality, or other similar characteristic.
The Forum recognizes and appreciates that its participants have diverse
languages, backgrounds, experience, and expertise, and expects that all
participants will be treated with respect by all other participants.
(a) In connection with official Forum activities, all Forum participants shall:
Be polite, kind, and courteous to other participants, refraining from insulting
remarks on the perceived intelligence or ability of others.Treat fellow Forum
participants with respect, professionalism, courtesy, and reasonableness.
Respect that people have differences of opinion, and that there is seldom
unanimous agreement on a single “correct" answer. Be willing to compromise and
agree to disagree.
(b) In connection with official Forum activities, all Forum participants shall
refrain from conduct such as:
Threatening violence towards anyone. Discriminating against anyone on the
basis of personal characteristics or group membership.Harassing or bullying
anyone verbally, physically, or sexually.Launching barbs at others. [Note: a
“barb” is an obviously or openly unpleasant or carping remark.]Touching another
person in a physically inappropriate way. Deliberately intimidating or stalking
another person (in-person, online, or by other means).Inappropriately
disrupting or impeding official Forum events, including meetings, talks, and
presentations. For purposes of this Code, "inappropriate disruption" would
include aggressive, violent, and abusive conduct that prevents an official
Forum event from occurring or proceeding.Spamming, trolling, flaming, baiting,
and other similar behavior inappropriately directed towards an
individual.Advocating for, or encouraging, any of the above behavior.
(c) All Forum participants should promote the rules of this Code and take
action to bring discussions back into compliance with the Code whenever
violations are observed.
(d) Forum participants should stick to ideological, conceptual discussions and
avoid engaging in offensive or sensitive personal discussions, particularly if
they're off-topic; such personal discussions can lead to unnecessary arguments,
hurt feelings, and damaged trust.
II. Moderation. These are the policies for upholding the Code.
(a) Resist the urge to be defensive. Remember that it's your responsibility to
clearly communicate your message to your fellow participants. Everyone wants to
get along and we are all in the Forum first and foremost because we want to
talk about standards and everything that involves. Other participants will be
eager to assume good intent and forgive as long as you have earned their trust.
(b) Participants should inform the Chair, Vice Chair, and/or a Working Group
Chair immediately if they feel they have been, or are being, harassed or made
uncomfortable by a Forum member. Intimidation, personal attacks, and
retaliation of any kind will not be tolerated.
(c) Any Forum participant may report, in good faith, a perceived violation of
the Code to the Forum Chair or Vice Chair, or to a Working Group Chair (each, a
“Code Liaison”). One or more Code Liaison(s) will work with the reported Forum
participant to determine whether a violation of the Code has occurred and, if
so, how to resolve it. Resolution may also include appropriate executives from
the Forum participant’s Member company, as appropriate. If the reported Forum
participant, Member executives, and the Code Liaison(s) are unable to resolve
the issue, any of the foregoing may request the assistance of a reasonably
acceptable independent third party (such as an Interested Party or WebTrust) to
assist with the resolution.
(d) Members agree to take appropriate action in the event any of their Member
representatives violate the Code. Such action could include warning,
reprimanding, suspending, removing or replacing the Member representative who
has violated the Code, depending on the severity of the violation. Depending
on the number and severity of violations, the Forum may impose consequences
such as excluding a Member representative from certain meetings, removing a
Member representative from a mailing list, and suspending a Member
representative from certain Forum activities.
