Special council meeting for the Gentoo Code of Conduct

See the \agoref{gentoo-dev}{d0fb087811fb99023aa4881f9a1b0d81} for the 
background.\footnote{Sadly most texts were temporary files in a devspace or on 
pastebins, so the links lead nowhere.}


\agendaitem{Gentoo Code of Conduct}
\index{Code of Conduct}\index{project!proctors}

\dev{wolf31o2} posted a temporary version to his devspace, containing 
suggestions and clarifications from the Q\&A session.

\dev{vapier} has some further modifications, including: 
\begin{itemize}
 \item
 dropping the all caps to regular case text (accepted)
 \item
 rewording of wanting everybody to be ready to apologize to rather taking
  responsibility for your actions (accepted)
 \item
 wanting to involve the ombudsman in the consequences section (not accepted,
  as the ombudsman is for inter-developer conflict).\index{ombudsman}
\end{itemize}

\dev{robbat2} brought up a set of five conditions to apply to the CoC, given the
  other input on the mailing lists and the Q\&A session.
\begin{itemize}
 \item
 Conditions \#1 (that the document is fluid) and \#5 (that council members may 
  not be proctors) were added directly to the CoC.
 \item
 Conditions \#2 (working on a more final version) and \#4 (regular review of
  proctor actions by the council) were included in the vote.
 \item
 Condition \#3 (to find a better name than proctors) was not agreed upon, as
  it was realized that no single title would ever fit.
\end{itemize}

\vote{The motion was called for accepting the CoC with the above modifications, 
as well as revisiting it next council meeting, and reviewing the actions of
proctors during every council meeting.}{Passed 6 votes for yes, and 1 for 
abstain (vapier).}

The document was commited to the council project space temporarily,
until a better location is found for it:
http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/council/coc.xml\footnote{See 
\url{https://sources.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/gentoo/xml/htdocs/proj/en/council/coc.xml?revision=1.1\&view=markup}
for the initial version added here. 
The current location is the \wgoref{Project:Council/Code_of_conduct}.}


\agendaitem{Proctors project members}
\index{project!forum-mods}\index{project!gentoo-ops}

There was an initial discussion about who the initial group of proctors are,
and \dev{kloeri} and \dev{kingtaco} agreed to work together on finding them. 

\dev{seemant} and \dev{g2boojum} were mentioned as potential initial candidates,
combined with the forums moderators and the \#gentoo ops focusing on their own
areas of specialization.


\agendaitem{Relevant mailing-list stuff}

\dev{robbat2} is working on the implementation of mailing-list stuff from the
infrastructure side, linking his implementation plan.\footnote{Now dead link.}
He asked for any short-term needs to be brought to him directly until the 
initial application is ready to go in a few hours.
