Examples of representing our community include using an official e-mail address, posting via an official social media account, or acting as an appointed representative at an online or offline event.
2.5. What to do in case of violations¶
If you believe someone is violating the code of conduct in one of our online platforms, we ask that you report it by emailing modelinfo@breakthroughenergy.org. All complaints will be reviewed and investigated promptly and fairly.
All project maintainers are obligated to respect the privacy and security of the reporter of any incident.
What to include in your report:
Your contact information (so we can get in touch with you if we need to follow up)
Names of any individuals involved (real names, nicknames, or pseudonyms). If there were other witnesses besides you, please try to include them as well.
When and where the incident occurred. Please be as specific as possible.
Your account of what occurred. If there is a publicly available record (e.g., a mailing list archive or a public chat logger) please include a link. Our Slack Team is currently on a free plan that does not retain more than 10,000 messages of history, if an incident occurred on Slack please take a screenshot so it is not lost.
Any extra context you believe existed for the incident.
Whether you believe this incident is ongoing.
Any other information you believe we should have.
