In my (admittedly fairly limited) experience, not having CT members present at DebConf has led to some amount of scrambling to designate people as on-site points of contact. This is, obviously, not entirely ideal. I think that once the CT folks have an idea of who (if anyone) will be the onsite incident response team, their contact info should be published on debconf##.dc.o and sent to dc-announce@lists.d.o. I don't think this has to necessarily be CT members, but IMO CT should try to form the team and ask for help if necessary. As for enforcement and incident response, my understanding of CT is that it is primarily responsible for making recommendations, not taking action itself. Obviously depending on the circumstances the exact recourse will be different, but I think that if the member of the onsite response team feels that the organizers of that particular event should take action, they should bring this up to the event organizers, who are in the best position to enforce any recommendations. If this concerns a DM or DD, contacting DAM may also be appropriate. Should the incident relate to a member of the Orga team, I think that the DC Committee should be informed. Thanks for reaching out, I think this is an important conversation to have ahead of time. Taowa -- Taowa Munene-Tardif ta...@debian.org taowa.ca Montréal
