By request, here is an excerpt from the minutes from the meeting of May 15, 2018, which was private at the time pending an announcement and now public, along with a list of the attendees of that meeting. See
https://gitlab.gnome.org/Teams/Board/issues/60== Minutes ==
* Events code of conduct (Allan)
* We've had the events code of conduct proposal on the table for some time now. Board members have had chance to review it. Only Alexandre has raised concerns. These include:
* GDPR - Neil doesn't think this affects the events code of conduct (in a blocking way) and thinks that any issues can be dealt with at a later date
* Release parties: do we have guidelines for what release parties should follow?
* Concern about prohibiting speech based on it being "offensive", since this could be subjective.
* Question about prohibiting weapons: does this include pepper spray, multi-tools
* Two potential amendments have been discussed with Alexandre:
* 1. Add a sentence to the photography policy: “If press photographers are present, the event organizer will ask them to comply with this policy.”
* 2. Remove the section of the incident reporting page that encourages reporting incidents that you might have observed ("if you see someone violating the Code of Conduct")
* Nuritzi - observing incidents can make people feel uncomfortable/unwelcome. Neil - if you observe a crime, you report it.
* VOTE: accept the events code of conduct that has been presented (
https://wiki.gnome.org/Diversity/CoCWorkingGroup/DraftEventsCoC/ ) as official GNOME Foundation policy, for all future events
* Passed unanimously
* VOTE: 1st amendment
* Passed unanimously
* Didier joined at this point.
* VOTE: 2nd amendment
* -1 unanimous, (Carlos cites concerns that have been expressed to him by community members)
Meg leaves.
