DevRel is repsonsible for solving conflicts between developers. Apparently I am not the only one who expects DevRel to take an active role in enforcing the CoC, at least where it concerns inter-developer relations. If this is not DevRel's task, then this should be made explicit. > There was a mostly silent agreement between some teams, including > DevRel, UserRel, Council and Trustees, that after the Proctors project > was terminated, the enforcement of the CoC, including any moderation or > banning actions, would fall to the UserRel team. This is very worrying. Such things should never be a silent agreement. This needs to be open and transparent. This is policy that needs to be explicit. Cheers, Ben
