== My biggest concern is the email alias and IRC cloak. Does the project really want to give those to someone that files a few bugzillas with no concern to how well they follow the guiding principle?
== I further think there should be 2 stages of guiding principle enforcement.
If a member meets a first level of concern related to the guiding principle, or abuse of the email alias / IRC cloak, the board should have the ability to remove their membership. If the behaviour worsens, then they can be banned from the mailinglists, etc. as second level of response.
I do not like this suggestion The Guiding Principles are expected to be followed for all people involved in the openSUSE Project - Members and Non-Members Your suggestion would create a model where Members would get an extra 'strike' where they could breach the Guiding Principles but avoid severe sanction by 'just' loosing their Membership. Where as non-Members would be far more likely to face removing from the project. Sure, being a member does open up that gradiated option, which I would expect the Board to consider for a Member who is not compliant with the guiding principles. But I do not like the idea of codifying that Members would be immune from summary removal from the Project. I think that's a judgement that should only be made by the Board, collectively. Recent experience has solidified my opinion that the Board model works well. I have more faith in not only it's collective ability to make right decisions, but (more importantly) it's collective ability to realise when it's decisions are wrong and take steps to correct them. I don't think it would be in the Project's best interest to codify rules that would remove options from their toolbox of dealing with negative behaviour in the project. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org
