</span>I think initial temporary suspensions should definitely be handled<br>
without involving the Board (just as they are for any other PSF<br>
provided channel).<br>
<br>
I also think there are two cases that can definitely only be handled<br>
at the board level:<br>
<br>
- folks that feel they've been treated unfairly by the core<br>
development team appealing to the Board for reconsideration<br>
- the core development team recommending that a ban from our channels<br>
(python-dev, python-ideas, core-workflow, <a href="http://bugs.python.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">bugs.python.org</a>, GitHub<br>
python org) be extended to other PSF provided channels<br>
<br>
I'd previously said that I thought conversion of temporary suspensions<br>
to permanent bans should also go to the Board, but I now think it<br>
makes more sense to handle that as:<br>
<br>
- the Board gets notified if a temporary suspension is now considered<br>
a permanent ban<br>
- they only need to get further involved if the ban is appealed<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Nick.<br>
<br>
P.S. Don't forget that the specific context here is *public* behaviour<br>
that is the domain of channel moderators, rather than confidentially<br>
reported Code of Conduct concerns. Handling of the latter will remain<br>
with the PSF Board or their appointed representatives, independently<br>
of how we handle moderation of the development channels.<br>
