Description

CNCF,

Larger projects like Kubernetes and Helm have their own committees for CoC enforcement. However, many smaller projects have difficulty staffing a diverse and balanced CoC committee because they just have too few contributors involved. That doesn't mean they don't need one, though; referring all CoC enforcement to a Linux Foundation staff member is both too much work for that staff member, and likely to result in long delays since LF staff cannot have context for the projects.

We (the Governance WG of SIG-Contributor Strategy) propose that the CNCF should consider having a "joint CoC enforcement committee" that all of the smaller projects would be allowed, at their discretion, to join, providing 1 or 2 volunteer members. This would support knowledgable CoC enforcement without requiring projects to each invest a large amount of contributor time, *and* it would help ensure that the CoC committee was more diverse and balanced.
