The proposed Postgres Code of Conduct [1] calls for an investigation and enforcement committee, which is to be appointed by and ultimately answerable to the core team, though no core members may sit on it. The core team is pleased to announce that Stacey Haysler has agreed to serve as the first Chair of the CoC committee. Many of you know Stacey from various conferences etc, and I don't feel that I need to repeat her excellent qualifications for this task. While we have a few names in mind for additional committee members, we need more in order that the committee can represent a diverse range of viewpoints and cultures. Therefore we are calling for volunteers, as indeed is required by the proposed CoC. This call will remain open until June 15; the committee membership will be decided and announced before the end of June. We encourage community members who, perhaps, have not previously taken large roles in the community to step forward for this. What is needed is not technical skills but empathy and the ability to understand varying viewpoints. If you are interested in serving, please write to coc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx (do not follow up to this message). Please include answers to these questions: 1. What interests you about being on the CoC Committee? 2. Have you been on another CoC Committee, or had a similar role at another organization? (Prior experience is not required, it's just helpful to know everyone's background.) 3. What else would you like to tell us that is helpful for us to know about your potential involvement with the CoC Committee? regards, tom lane [1] https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Code_of_Conduct
