Re: Community Manager, I am already partially doing that in an 
unofficial sense, but for an escalation path, I would highly recommend 
first reaching out to the TSC. Any inappropriate activity or harassment 
must be taken care of immediately and the community leadership would be 
tasked to take care of that.

This would absolutely require that the person be put on notice. Maybe it 
will help, but I have also never seen this behavior work for anyone 
trying to harass anyone. It has always backfired on the person doing the 
harassing in every case I can think of (I have been involved in a couple).

As I said in my previous email, we already have a CoC under the LF 
policies, but I am not opposed to adopting a new one. That said, do we 
need to improve the existing one? Is there something missing? Has anyone 
compared the two? Did I just sign up to do that?  :)
