At RIPE 74 meeting there was consensus among the Working Group Chairs <https://www.ripe.net/participate/ripe/wg/cc/summaries/draft-ripe-74-working-group-chair-meeting-summary> to establish RIPE Mailing List / RIPE Forum Code of Conduct <https://www.ripe.net/participate/mail/ripe-mailing-list-ripe-forum-code-of-conduct> in addition to the RIPE Meeting Code of Conduct <https://www.ripe.net/participate/meetings/ripe-meetings/ripe-meeting-code-of-conduct> that has been in place for some time now.
RIPE Mailing List / RIPE Forum Code of Conduct The RIPE community’s strength comes from its breadth of experience, diversity of views, and an open, respectful exchange of ideas. These are values that we want all of our community members to uphold. Please treat each other with tolerance and respect. Free speech and an open exchange of ideas is encouraged and celebrated. Demeaning, intimidating or harming other community members is wrong. We are especially sensitive to behaviour that offends based on gender, sexual orientation, religion, race or ethnic origin, or other perceived social, cultural, or personal differences. RIPE community members should not spam mailing lists, post others' personal information, register multiple accounts to avoid moderation or mislead participants, impersonate others, or make threats. Overt marketing or promotional activities are discouraged. Chairs are responsible for facilitating and moderating the RIPE community's discussions. At times they may direct an individual to cease a certain type of behaviour. Chairs have the authority to moderate or ban disruptive community members if they decide this is necessary. If you believe that someone is behaving contrary to this code of conduct, please inform the relevant Chair or the RIPE Chair. -- Sincerely, Hans Petter Holen - RIPE Chair
