I like both of these.  I would be happy to adopt either.  I prefer the
Contributor Covenant based version.


I have two comments.  The first is very minor:

The LF Events one has one different section title.  Instead of
        Enforcement
it has
        What To Do If You Witness Or Are Subject To Unacceptable
        Behavior 
which is unwieldy but better in other ways - more positive and
constructive.  I'm not sure if there is a happy middle ground.
I am happy to adopt either version with either title.  I mention it in
case anyone has better ideas etc.


My second comment is more substantial.  It should not be regarded as a
blocker, but I would like to see it addressed either now or after CoC
adoption.

The root issue is the difficult one of what to do about possible
involvement in abuse by members of the conduct@ address.

I would like to see two changes: firstly, we should publish the list
of people that the conduct alias goes to.  The CoC should contain a
reference to the place where this can be found.  "The membership of
the conduct@ alias is publicly documented in [location]".

Secondly, we should explicitly provide a route for someone who
distrusts member(s) of conduct@.  How about:

  If you have concerns about any of the members of the conduct@ alias,
  you are welcome to contact precisely the Conduct Team member(s) of
  your choice.

The team should be large and diverse enough that this is a practically
useful recommendation, but it should not be unwieldy.


Thanks for driving this.

Regards,
Ian.
