Reporting Guide
|
|
===============
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
This document is currently a **DRAFT** document while it is being discussed
|
|
by the community.
|
|
|
|
If you believe someone is violating the :doc:`code of conduct <CodeOfConduct>`
|
|
you can always report it to the LLVM Foundation Code of Conduct Advisory
|
|
Committee by emailing conduct@llvm.org. **All reports will be kept
|
|
confidential.** This isn't a public list and only `members`_ of the advisory
|
|
committee will receive the report.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
If the violation occurs at an event such as a Developer Meeting and requires
|
|
immediate attention, you can also reach out to any of the event organizers or
|
|
staff. Event organizers and staff will be prepared to handle the incident and
|
|
able to help. If you cannot find one of the organizers, the venue staff can
|
|
locate one for you. We will also post detailed contact information for specific
|
|
events as part of each events' information. In person reports will still be
|
|
kept confidential exactly as above, but also feel free to (anonymously if
|
|
needed) email conduct@llvm.org.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
The LLVM community has long handled inappropriate behavior on its own, using
|
|
both private communication and public responses. Nothing in this document is
|
|
intended to discourage this self enforcement of community norms. Instead,
|
|
the mechanisms described here are intended to supplement any self
|
|
enforcement within the community. They provide avenues for handling severe
|
|
cases or cases where the reporting party does not wish to respond directly
|
|
for any reason.
|
|
|
|
Filing a report
|
|
===============
|
|
|
|
Reports can be as formal or informal as needed for the situation at hand. If
|
|
possible, please include as much information as you can. If you feel
|
|
comfortable, please consider including:
|
|
|
|
* 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 (e.g.
|
|
a mailing list archive or a public IRC logger) 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 advisory committee acknowledging receipt
|
|
within 24 hours (and we will aim to respond much quicker than that).
|
|
|
|
The advisory committee will immediately meet to review the incident and try to
|
|
determine:
|
|
|
|
* What happened and who was involved.
|
|
* Whether this event constitutes a code of conduct violation.
|
|
* 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 working groups' 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.
|
|
|
|
The working group will try to contact other parties involved or witnessing the
|
|
event to gain clarity on what happened and understand any different
|
|
perspectives.
|
|
|
|
Once the advisory committee has a complete account of the events they will make
|
|
a decision as to how to respond. Responses may include:
|
|
|
|
* Nothing, if we determine no violation occurred or it has already been
|
|
appropriately resolved.
|
|
* Providing either moderation or mediation to ongoing interactions (where
|
|
appropriate, safe, and desired by both parties).
|
|
* A private reprimand from the working group to the individuals involved.
|
|
* An imposed vacation (i.e. asking someone to "take a week off" from a mailing
|
|
list or IRC).
|
|
* A public reprimand.
|
|
* A permanent or temporary ban from some or all LLVM spaces (mailing lists,
|
|
IRC, etc.)
|
|
* Involvement of relevant law enforcement if appropriate.
|
|
|
|
If the situation is not resolved within one week, we'll respond within one week
|
|
to the original reporter with an update and explanation.
|
|
|
|
Once we've determined our response, we will separately contact the original
|
|
reporter and other individuals to let them know what actions (if any) we'll be
|
|
taking. We will take into account feedback from the individuals involved on the
|
|
appropriateness of our response, but we don't guarantee we'll act on it.
|
|
|
|
After any incident, the advisory committee will make a report on the situation
|
|
to the LLVM Foundation board. The board may choose to make a public statement
|
|
about the incident. If that's the case, the identities of anyone involved will
|
|
remain confidential unless instructed by those individuals otherwise.
|
|
|
|
Appealing
|
|
=========
|
|
|
|
Only permanent resolutions (such as bans) or requests for public actions may be
|
|
appealed. To appeal a decision of the working group, contact the LLVM
|
|
Foundation board at board@llvm.org with your appeal and the board will review
|
|
the case.
|
|
|
|
In general, it is **not** appropriate to appeal a particular decision on
|
|
a public mailing list. Doing so would involve disclosure of information which
|
|
would be confidential. Disclosing this kind of information publicly may be
|
|
considered a separate and (potentially) more serious violation of the Code of
|
|
Conduct. This is not meant to limit discussion of the Code of Conduct, the
|
|
advisory board itself, or the appropriateness of responses in general, but
|
|
**please** refrain from mentioning specific facts about cases without the
|
|
explicit permission of all parties involved.
