No. I said the proctor part would be draconian _at the moment_. The draconian reference was only to the proctor part of that document. I'm not going to repeat my whole previous email. I said I don't think it's needed _at the moment_. That's my opinion and if others wish to adopt some kind of code of conduct which by and large just documents common sense then by all means go forth and adopt. josh _______________________________________________ fedora-advisory-board mailing list fedora-advisory-board@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-advisory-board
