<p>If you are being harassed by a member of COMMUNITY NAME, notice that
someone else is being harassed, or have any other concerns, please
contact the RESPONSE TEAM at [email address or other contact point]. If
the person who is harassing you is on the team, they will recuse
themselves from handling your incident. We will respond as promptly as
we can.
</p><p>This code of conduct applies to COMMUNITY NAME spaces, but if you
are being harassed by a member of COMMUNITY NAME outside our spaces, we
still want to know about it. We will take all good-faith reports of
harassment by COMMUNITY NAME members, especially LEADERSHIP TEAM,
seriously. This includes harassment outside our spaces and harassment
that took place at any point in time. The abuse team reserves the right
to exclude people from COMMUNITY NAME based on their past behavior,
including behavior outside COMMUNITY NAME spaces and behavior towards
people who are not in COMMUNITY NAME.
</p><p>In order to protect volunteers from abuse and burnout, we reserve
the right to reject any report we believe to have been made in bad
faith. Reports intended to silence legitimate criticism may be deleted
without response.
</p><p>We will respect confidentiality requests for the purpose of
protecting victims of abuse. At our discretion, we may publicly name a
person about whom we’ve received harassment complaints, or privately
warn third parties about them, if we believe that doing so will increase
the safety of COMMUNITY NAME members or the general public. We will not
name harassment victims without their affirmative consent.

<p>Participants asked to stop any harassing behavior are expected to comply immediately.

take any action they deem appropriate, up to and including expulsion
from all COMMUNITY NAME spaces and identification of the participant as a
