| -We're preparing the "Reporting Guidelines" to explain how can you report a |
5 |
| -violation of the new Symfony Code of Conduct. Come back to this article in a |
6 |
| -few days to see the process in detail. |
| 4 | +If you believe someone is violating the Code of Conduct we ask that you report |
| 5 | +it to the :doc:`enforcement team </contributing/code_of_conduct/enforcement_team>` |
| 6 | +by emailing, Twitter, in person or any way you see fit. |
| 7 | + |
| 8 | +**All reports will be kept confidential.** The privacy of everyone included in |
| 9 | +the report is of our highest concern. Second to privacy there is transparency. |
| 10 | +After every report we will determine if a public statement should be made. If |
| 11 | +that's the case, the identities of all victims, reporters, and the accused will |
| 12 | +remain confidential unless those individuals instruct us otherwise. The details |
| 13 | +of the incident may also be generalized. |
| 14 | + |
| 15 | +If you believe anyone is in physical danger or doing something that is against |
| 16 | +the law, please notify appropriate emergency services first by calling the relevant |
| 17 | +local authorities. If you are unsure what service or agency is appropriate to |
| 18 | +contact, include this in your report and we will attempt to notify them. |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | +In your report please include: |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | + * Your contact info for follow-up contact. |
| 23 | + * Names (legal, nicknames, or pseudonyms) of any individuals involved. |
| 24 | + * If there were other witnesses besides you, please try to include them as well. |
| 25 | + * When and where the incident occurred. Please be as specific as possible. |
| 26 | + * Your description of what occurred. |
| 27 | + * If there is a publicly available record (e.g. a mailing list archive or a |
| 28 | + public IRC or Slack log), please include a link and a screenshot. |
| 29 | + * If you believe this incident is ongoing. |
| 30 | + * Any other information you believe we should have. |
| 31 | + |
| 32 | +What happens after you file a report? |
| 33 | +------------------------------------- |
| 34 | + |
| 35 | +You will receive a reply from the :doc:`enforcement team </contributing/code_of_conduct/enforcement_team>` |
| 36 | +acknowledging receipt as soon as possible, but within 24 hours. |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | +The team member receiving the report will immediately contact all or some other |
| 39 | +enforcement team members to review the incident and determine: |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | + * What happened. |
| 42 | + * Whether this event constitutes a Code of Conduct violation. |
| 43 | + * What kind of response is appropriate. |
| 44 | + |
| 45 | +If this is determined to be an ongoing incident or a threat to physical safety, |
| 46 | +the team's immediate priority will be to protect everyone involved. This means |
| 47 | +we may delay an "official" response until we believe that the situation has ended |
| 48 | +and that everyone is physically safe. |
| 49 | + |
| 50 | +Once the team has a complete account of the events, they will make a decision as |
| 51 | +to how to respond. Responses may include: |
| 52 | + |
| 53 | + * Nothing (if we determine no Code of Conduct violation occurred). |
| 54 | + * A private reprimand from the Code of Conduct response team to the individual(s) |
| 55 | + involved. |
| 56 | + * An imposed vacation (i.e. asking someone to "take a week off" from a mailing |
| 57 | + list or Slack). |
| 58 | + * A permanent or temporary ban from some or all Symfony conference/community |
| 59 | + spaces (events, meetings, mailing lists, IRC, Slack, etc.) |
| 60 | + * A request to engage in mediation and/or an accountability plan. |
| 61 | + * On a case by case basis, other actions may be possible but will usually be |
| 62 | + coordinated with the core team and the Symfony company. |
| 63 | + |
| 64 | +We'll respond within one week to the person who filed the report with either a |
| 65 | +resolution or an explanation of why the situation is not yet resolved. |
| 66 | + |
| 67 | +Once we've determined our final actions, we'll contact the original reporter to |
| 68 | +let them know what action (if any) we'll be taking. We'll take into account feedback |
| 69 | +from the reporter on the appropriateness of our response, but our response will be |
| 70 | +determined by what will be best for community safety. |
| 71 | + |
| 72 | +The enforcement team keeps a private record of all incidents. By default all reports |
| 73 | +are shared with the entire enforcement team unless the reporter specifically asks |
| 74 | +to exclude specific enforcement team members, in which case these enforcement team |
| 75 | +members will not be included in any communication on the incidents as well as records |
| 76 | +created related to the incidents. |
| 77 | + |
| 78 | +Enforcement team members are expected to inform the enforcement team and the reporters |
| 79 | +in case of conflicts on interest and recuse themselves if this is deemed a problem. |
| 80 | + |
| 81 | +Appealing the response |
| 82 | +---------------------- |
| 83 | + |
| 84 | +Only permanent resolutions (such as bans) may be appealed. To appeal a decision |
| 85 | +of the working group, contact the :doc:`enforcement team </contributing/code_of_conduct/enforcement_team>` |
| 86 | +with your appeal and they will review the case. |
