And I do think it is important to understand possible implications of Board decisions as they may directly affect community members who organise events. My current understanding of your response is, that the CoC committee holds the all of the above powers for all "GNOME events" (unless maybe an explicit exception has been made). Is that interpretation correct?That's my understanding (but again, that's a purely formal reading - I don't see it happening in practice).
You are repeatedly insisting, that the Code of Conduct (CoC) committee will never make use of these far reaching powers (only stopping at permanent sanctions such as "removal of Foundation membership"). I find this rather contradictory. Why would the Board explicitly grant such far reaching powers, if it does not expect the committee to ever use them? If the Board trusts local organisers to collaborate with the CoC committee and decide on sanctions together with them, then these powers are not necessary. Yet, the Board has chosen to explicitly grant these powers, meaning that organisers are instead compelled to implement decisions by the committee. This appears to imply a distrust against organisers to live up to their responsibilities.
