An ombudsperson tries not to bring a situation to "justice" or any other public exposure (to start with), and from what I've seen most cases can be worked out without. Are you getting advice from professionals on how to structure this?
The pressures towards keeping things private are quite strong and understandable.
The conflicting requirement is to ensure a public sense that harassment and bullying will not be tolerated.
To the extent that public mis-behaviors are not seen to be countered aggressively, the public perception therefore is one of tolerance.
This is issue is especially important when changing from a culture that actively tolerated or encouraged the problematic behavior.
So... how will the IETF community come to understand that the behaviors will not be tolerated (any longer)?
