Hi all,
Firstly, thank you to all who worked on this. It looks good to me.
In reply to Sander and Sasha: currently the CoC says the reporting
party, and not the CoC Team, is responsible, if they wish, to make a
report to the relevant authorities. It also says the CoC could do so, if
they think it is reasonable. If the authorities cannot do anything with
this report without a victim (this is the case in some (most?)
jurisdictions), then it is up to the authorities to handle this further
- they could choose to contact the victim etc. It's out of our hands, so
why debate it? Also, I think a CoC cannot preclude a party (whether it
is a victim or not) from filing a report with the authorities. It just
doesn't have that power.
Lastly, I second other people on this list's confusion about why the PC
should have anything to do with the approval/applicability of the CoC,
in events where there is a PC. Why would they want to have this
responsibility? As far as I know it is not currently in any of their
Charters. I'd be curious to hear what they think about this. I support
other's suggestion to leave that part out.
Cheers,
Gergana
