Sanctions, block in IRC? That would require mods or chanserv, right? Temporary ban from mailing list? I think it should be a rotating group of 10 people who vote on this, randomly picked (everyone gets a number and a program picks 10?) to eliminate politics of any sort, of course 10 is arbitrary. I think an arbitrator should randomly be selected from the 10 on a case by case basis? Just a few suggestions... And what is harassment? It can only be defined to a point, it is really on an individual level, the person being harassed defines it. Riley Childs Student Asst.

I think the conflict resolution part is in better shape, though it would need a little cleanup for more universal (i.e., not conference-specific) language.
