Selection of new Code of Conduct Team Community Members

[tobie]

We recently revamped the code of conduct, its associated policies and team charter and are ready to run the yearly selection process to bring in new people to the Code of Conduct Team.

The responsibilities of the CoC Team are outlined in its charter along with eligibility requirements for team members.

We are looking for 3 primary community members and a variable number of alternate community members. (Alternate members get called in when there aren't enough primary members available to manage a particular incident.)

Please self-nominate by commenting below and/or encourage someone you think would be a good candidate for this role. You do not need to be part of the CPC to self-nominate. Please indicate whether you'd like to be selected for a primary role, and alternate role, or are OK with both. Please confirm that you understand the eligibility requirements and agree with them.

I'd like to self-nonimate as an alternate community member. I have read the eligibility requirements and agree with them.

I'd like to self-nominate as a primary community member (or alternate, as a fallback). I have read the eligibility requirements and agree with them.

Happy to self nominate reference #985 (comment)

[tobie]

@benjamingr: as a primary, alternate member, or either?

[benjamingr]

Whatever helps honestly, moderation isn't usually a high-capacity high-demand job but typically involves bursts of discussions and janitorial work.

I was provided training by the foundation (back when it was still the Node.js foundation!) as well as 8 years of experience as a moderator in Node.js and I am happy to contribute at whatever capacity helps.

[mcollina]

I'm happy to serve on this one.

[anfibiacreativa]

I'm happy to be selected as an alternate member. I have read the requirements.

[PaulaPaul]

Hello, I understand the responsibilities and eligibility requirements, and am happy to serve as an alternate (ready to serve if selected and called).

[ctcpip]

Iff there are not enough volunteers, I am happy to help. (For either role.)

[ovflowd]

I'd also would love to serve as an alternate, since I'm already a moderator on the Node.js project, and I understand that often there might be conflict of interests/or not enough time for me to act as a main moderator :)

[mlaurencin]

I am happy to serve as an alternate member and have read the requirements.

[nektro]

I'd like to self-nonimate as an alternate community member. I have read the eligibility requirements and agree with them.

Awesome to see folk's from different projects nominating! Awesome to see more diversity here 😍

[benjamingr]

This is the longest nomination process I've ever participated in. I feel like I've self-nominated ~2 years ago and nothing has happened.

Some presidents had shorter election campaigns than this volunteer request for janitorial work 😅

What happened here?

[ovflowd]

We should prioritise this to the next Working Session. cc @bensternthal

[tobie]

What happened here?

Organizing this is… volunteer work (same as maintaining open source).

[benjamingr]

Organizing this is… volunteer work (same as maintaining open source).

As everything else here :] Other projects genuinely don't get enough spam/CoC complaints/issues for this to become pressing?

[tobie]

To be clear, the foundation has had a functioning CoC team all along. It's agreeing on the terms of the new, wider CoC team which took time and delayed this selection process.

[ljharb]

That said, i also believe/suspect node is an outlier here due to its popularity.

Meeting notes:

• Private session two weeks ago wanting to choose team members but had issues to work through still
• Working session last week revealed that the process was not broken but the decision/selection is particularly difficult for private reasons.
• Will work on this more today in private session today

@mcollina: to be clear, as alternate or primary or both?

Summarizing the results of the self-nomination process below (by alphabetic order):

Name	Github handle	Affiliation	Primary	Alternate
Benjamin Gruenbaum	@benjamingr	Eon	✅	✅
Chris de Almeida	@ctcpip	IBM	✅	✅
Claudio Wunder	@ovflowd	HubSpot		✅
Jordan Harband	@ljharb	HeroDevs	✅	✅
Matteo Collina	@mcollina	Platformatic		✅
Meghan Denny	@nektro	Oven		✅
Michaela Laurencin	@mlaurencin	Microsoft		✅
Natalia Venditto	@anfibiacreativa	Microsoft		✅
Paula Paul	@PaulaPaul	Greyshore Associates	✅	✅
Tobie Langel	@tobie	UnlockOpen		✅

Worth noting that per the CoC Team's charter, @mcollina and @benjamingr wouldn't be able to both serve as primary community members as "No two primary community members can work for the same employer nor hold leadership positions in the same OpenJSF project" and they are both on the Node TSC. (Fixed.)

I'd also want to point out that the CoC Team's Charter states the "CPC is responsible for ensuring that the CoC Team is as representative and diverse as possible" and that, "to do so, the CPC commits to reach out proactively to individuals from underrepresented groups." In light of the above, I note that candidates for primary roles aren't exactly the most diverse group of people (no offense implied) and encourage all other candidates to consider stepping up as primary members.

[benjamingr]

@mcollina let me know if you prefer to be primary or alternate and I'll happily do the other one or whatever else works.

[mcollina]

I’m happy to be the alternate.

[PaulaPaul]

I am also happy to be considered as primary if there is a need.
