I'm not sure.... Is this where to put it on the agenda? http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Board_Meetings
Yep!
Thanks, brynn

Thanks for checking in with KK and verifying the situation.
Does the Free Software ecosystem have a complaints resolution project/service yet?
It would surprise me if such a thing existed.
Maybe something like ACAS(uk) but for code of conduct highest appeals sort of thing? Once it's gone past the Inkscape Community, The Inkscape Board and possibly SFC?
SFC is very swamped right now. I would not suggest escalating to their level unless it the issue was so serious that it was a legal liability.

Hi again, I've had a reply from Krzysztof. Unfortunately, he says he is no longer a good candidate for this position. So if we still want to use this process for settling complaints, I guess we need to find someone else.
So this goes kind of out of my hands. I'm not sure what theprocess was to write the CoC. But I guess we have to decide if we still want a single person with this responsibility. And if so, who might be interested to do it.
Personally, I think it's important to have a documentedprocess for settling complaints. Whether it goes to one person, or some kind of team or panel, it's important to have it documented.
But I'm not sure what the next step should be.All best, brynn

Hi Friends, I've previously volunteered to lead an effort to write the rules and guidelines for the new forum. Except for the rules about selecting staff and staff responsibilities, I think the community CoC should suffice. So I was just reviewing it.
One thing specifically that I would like in the forum rulesis a clear and concrete method where members can file a complaint and have it fairly heard and settled.
In the CoC, apparently all that's available is contactKrzysztof Kosiński: tweenk.pl@...2620... Unless the complaint is about a moderator, in which case members are supposed to contact the Board.
First question - Why is it a different process forcomplaints about moderators?
The board has a higher level of authority and power to deal with structural or staff problems than the CoC contact point does.
2nd - Can I at least say that Krzysztof Kosiński has sometraining and experience in conflict resolution? Or do we have other community members with such qualifications, who could do this for the forum?
Could you email him offlist and ask first? I don't know if he has training in this area myself. IIRC he had felt we needed to have a specific name included in the CoC to make the role concrete, and was willing to serve as that name.
It would certainly be useful to know if there are other community members with training/experience in this area, and if they'd be interested in serving in a formal role with the project. With the new forum coming online, this could be a convenient point in time to transition if it makes sense.
