<b>Subject:</b> [IAEP] Improving our Code of Conduct (was: Re: Code of Conduct Motion to add Anti-harassment policy - Sugar Labs)</font>

<p>Hi,</p>
<p>I had asked that we discuss changes to our Code of Conduct in <a href="https://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_Labs/Conduct" target="_blank">
a wiki page</a> I have worked on, where I put the result of a lot of research.</p>
<p>The time I spent, back in January, on this document, is because I myself felt not only harassed but threatened. It came as a realization then, that perhaps more people have had similar experiences and have abandoned Sugar Labs because they were less tenacious
than others. Hopefully you'll find the references I put there (beyond geek feminism) interesting. They represent a broad spectrum of approaches to making a community more welcoming.<br>
</p>
<p>I found our <a href="https://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_Labs/Legal/Code_of_Conduct" target="_blank">
current Code of Conduct</a> was not sufficient because (1) it is vague and difficult to evaluate when it's been infringed. Cultures vary widely with regard to what is
<i>considerate</i>, <i>respectful</i>, <i>collaborative</i>, and <i>flexible</i>. It would be much better if specific acceptable or not acceptable behaviors were listed. (2) There is no defined procedure on how to report a problem and what the expected outcome,
timeline, or response could be. (3) There's no defined solution or action such as warning or temporarily moderating a person to signal bad behavior.</p>
<p>James, you insist on victimizing yourself and have a confrontational form of writing. Perhaps I'm misreading you. Please improve your tone. I have only seen vague complaints on the alleged dispute (<i>"rate of posting and Wiki editing"</i>, and
<i>"use of many paths to achieve your goals"</i>).<br>
</p>
<p>If all of this is because I had the audacity to merge an icon, I feel your attitude is disproportionate, unfair and itself sufficient for a complaint. Trying to flag my github profile seems particularly aggressive and harmful, considering the market use
of such profiles.<br>
</p>
<p>The trademarked icon has already been reinstated in master branch, but my valid concern (that neither Sugar Labs nor downstream distributors have permission to use it), has not been resolved. I raised the same question openly in 2016, and
<a href="http://meeting.sugarlabs.org/sugar-meeting/meetings/2016-04-01T19:01:31#i_2864254" target="_blank">
you responded with sarcasm</a>. I don't think this is acceptable.<br>
</p>
<p>At the moment I don't support Laura's motion because I think it's necessary to write something more specific for Sugar Labs, taking into consideration the other references listed in the page at the least.<br>
</p>
<p>Regards,</p>
<p>Sebastian<br>
