## Enforcement
## Making a report

Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior may be
reported to the community leaders responsible for enforcement at
[django-commons-coc@googlegroups.com](mailto:django-commons-coc@googlegroups.com).
All complaints will be reviewed and investigated promptly and fairly.
If you believe someone is violating the code of conduct we ask that you report it
to the Djangonaut Space organizers by emailing [django-commons-coc@googlegroups.com](mailto:django-commons-coc@googlegroups.com).

All reports will be kept confidential. In some cases we may determine that a public
statement will need to be made. If that's the case, the identities of all victims
and reporters will remain confidential unless those individuals instruct us otherwise.

All community leaders are obligated to respect the privacy and security of the
reporter of any incident.
**If you believe anyone is in physical danger, please notify appropriate law enforcement
first.** If you are unsure what law enforcement agency is appropriate,
please include this in your report and we will attempt to notify them.

### What to include in your report

In your report please include:
- Your contact info (so we can get in touch with you if we need to follow up)
- Names (real, nicknames, or pseudonyms) of any individuals involved. If there were other
witnesses besides you, please try to include them as well.
- When and where the incident occurred. Please be as specific as possible.
- Your account of what occurred. If there is a publicly available record please include a link.
- Any extra context you believe existed for the incident.
- If you believe this incident is ongoing.
- Any other information you believe we should have.

### What happens after you file a report?

You will receive an email from the Django Commons admins acknowledging
receipt as quickly as we can.

The organizers will immediately meet to review the incident and determine:

- What happened.
- Whether this event constitutes a code of conduct violation.
- Who the bad actor was.
- Whether this is an ongoing situation, or if there is a threat to anyone's physical safety.

If this is determined to be an ongoing incident or a threat to physical safety, the
organizers' immediate priority will be to protect everyone involved. This means we
may delay an "official" response until we believe that the situation has ended and
that everyone is physically safe.

Once the admins have a complete account of the events they will make a
decision as to how to response. Responses may include:

- Nothing (if we determine no violation occurred).
- A private reprimand from the working group to the individual(s) involved.
- A public reprimand.
- A permanent or temporary ban from Django Commons's platforms and/or the
organization itself.
- A request for a public or private apology.
- An escalation to the Django Code of Conduct Working Group for action
within the broader Django community.

We'll respond within one week to the person who filed the report with
either a resolution or an explanation of why the situation is not yet resolved.

Once we've determined our final action, we'll contact the original
reporter to let them know what action (if any) we'll be taking. We'll
take into account feedback from the reporter on the appropriateness of
our response, but we don't guarantee we'll act on it.

### Making a report to Django's Code of Conduct Working Group

[Reports can be made directly to the Django Code of Conduct working group](https://www.djangoproject.com/conduct/reporting/)
in the following scenarios:

- The report concerns a Django Commons Admin and/or CoC team.

This is new? I thought we considered Django's Code of Conduct Working Group as an appeal process, not as a direct channel.

I think we should keep our independence as much as possible and use django-coc only when all DC resources are exhausted. Something like this:

  • If the report is about DC-CoC => Report to DC-admin.
  • If the report is about DC-admin => Report to DC-CoC (no difference).
  • If there is no response within 30 days => django-coc (I don't like this one, but I don't have any better suggestion)
  • As a point of appeal within 30 days of the original decision

These changes are what the Django CoC WG suggests for affiliated programs.

This makes DC CoC redundant - just a step on the way to get to the "real" CoC team (that can make decisions regarding DC).

I'm not sure that's a fair takeaway here as it suggests the "Reports can be made" is really "reports should be made". This exists to communicate when a person could consider who to file a report with. Django Commons is encouraged to operate autonomously from my interpretation of the affiliated programs CoC policy, which matches your desire to maintain independence.

@cunla I want to make sure this one doesn't get lost.

We definitely have no desire to become the first or primary place to report. The situations we outline in https://github.com/django/code-of-conduct/blob/main/affiliated-programs.md#becoming-an-affiliated-program-or-community were meant to be the only scenarios which the Django CoCWG feel comfortable getting involved in another community, not that they have to be required by those communities. We're happy to consider clearer language there.

- The Django Commons CoC team fails to respond to a report
- As a point of appeal within 30 days of the original decision
