The Carbon Project relied on the three leads to handle conduct concerns initially as it bootstrapped its community team and expertise. We now have an active and effective community lead and team of moderators. Our community lead has worked to train and ramp up a new and independent conduct team. This proposal both provides an overview of the process and hands off conduct handling to the new team! Going forward, we expect routine updates to the conduct team to happen without full proposals as they allow trained folks to rotate in and out of this difficult but essential role on the project. Last but not least, making these changes uncovered a restriction in the Code of Conduct itself that we expect to be problematic to adhere to going forward. While well intentioned, it has a bunch of unanticipated effects that made both current and new conduct teams want to remove it. A related section has had its wording strengthened to try and address the underlying motivation at least partially. Most of this content comes from @CelineausBerlin with some additions and edits from myself and the other leads as we worked toward building the new CoC team.

Conduct Team
This team owns and drives the project's Code of Conduct, questions, concerns, and conduct reports. This page is for the team, see our actual Code of Conduct for the code and reporting details.
Contact and current team members
The Conduct Team can be reached by emailing conduct@carbon-lang.dev -- this can be used for questions, concerns, or reports of specific conduct issues.
The current members of this list are:
- Allison Poppe (@acpoppe on Discord and GitHub)
- Céline Dedaj (@celineausberlin on Discord and GitHub)
- Christopher Di Bella (@cjdb on Discord and GitHub)
- Lexi Bromfield (@lexinadia on Discord and @lexi-nadia on GitHub)
- flysand (@flysand on Discord and @flysand7 on GitHub)
For more details on reporting conduct to the team, please see the reporting conduct documentation.
Team structure and updates
The Conduct Team's goal is to have at least 5 trained conduct team members to deal with conduct-related escalations on behalf of and for the Carbon community. There should always be at least 3 conduct team members available to respond promptly, even factoring in vacations, getting sick, or other normal disruptions.
The Conduct Team is responsible for recruiting new members as needed to achieve these goals, and when trained and ready, the team will directly update this documentation and add them to the respective infrastructure.
The Conduct Team is typically recruited from among our active moderators -- if you are interested, reaching out to any of the moderators about helping with moderation is a good first step.
