Hey Ted, Just to pick a bit of your thoughtful email... > If people chose not to come forward, but are > only willing to engage in unoffical conversations with people who > might official roles, but who are unwilling to file a formal complaint > because they feel unsafe in doing so --- that there might be > consequences for the target of harassment making a formal report, or > because they don't believe it will be taken seriously or will be > addressed, and then they keep their mouths shut. The current IETF anti-harassment procedures were crafted with this in mind. It is a hard one to resolve, but the ombudsteam will both entertain third-party reports, and will talk to the subject in complete confidence to determine whether there is a way forward. A careful browse of RFC 7776 may prove useful to all on this thread. Ciao, Adrian
