Dear Debian Developers

I hereby appoint Daniel Gr=F6ber, Daniel Lenharo de Souza and Tiago
Bortoletto Vaz as new members of the Debian Community Team.

Jean-Philippe Mengual, Molly de Blanc, and Sruthi Chandra have stepped
down; we thank them for their work and dedication to this role.

The delegation remains unchanged otherwise and is included below:

The current members of the team are thus:

 * Andrew Cater (amacater)
 * Daniel Gr=F6ber (dxld)
 * Daniel Lenharo de Souza (lenharo)
 * Luke Faraone (lfaraone)
 * Steve McIntyre (93sam)
 * Tiago Bortoletto Vaz (tiago)

The goal of the Community Team (CT) is to help Debian be a welcoming
place, focusing on response to difficult or contentious communications,
as well as other negative experiences and Code of Conduct violations. It
aims to encourage and foster a respectful, productive, and inclusive
atmosphere throughout the Debian community.

The responsibilities of the team are:

 * To respond to concerns directed to the Community Team, raised by
   members of the project or people interacting with them, working
   with individuals to help them.

 * To work with teams responsible for communications channels within the
   community such as listmasters, the owner of the Bug Tracking System,
   administrators of Debian Planet and others to provide advice; where
   desired by these teams, helping to deal with contentious and difficult
   issues that impact the community.

 * To work with the DPL, Debian Account Managers and others to provide
   advice on interpreting the Code of Conduct.  Such advice may form the
   basis of interpretations of the Code of Conduct that help teams in
   the project set policy around community standards.

 * To coordinate responses (both inside and outside the project) to
   ongoing harassment of the Debian community as a whole or portions
   there-of; including working with additional volunteers when the
   community team's members are insufficient.

 * To work with event organisers to make sure that Debian Events have
   adequate incident response teams to respond to any concerns.

 * To write reports to other teams such as the Planet Admins,
   Listmasters, or Debian Account Managers in response to extreme
   incidents or repeated patterns of problematic behavior.

The team recognises that technical development can lead to arguments and
passionate discussions. Where desired, the team will work with
contributors to help them express disagreement without violating the
CoC. When people do breach the CoC, the team will give guidance on
better ways to interact in the future. We will attempt to consult with
those on all sides of issues when possible.  Nevertheless, protection of
the vulnerable and the community as a whole is the ultimate goal of the
team.

If things do not work out, and in cases with a pattern of repeating
problems, the team will raise concerns with other teams as appropriate.

Maintaining the respect of the community is critical.  The most
important facet of this is responding in a timely manner when reports
are brought to the team's attention.  Other important examples include
sensitivity to conflict of interest and balancing trade-offs around
confidentiality.

The Community Team role has traditionally been emotionally challenging
and resulting in high turnover.  Because of this potentially high
turnover, recruiting new members is even more important for the CT than
for some other delegations.  The DPL and CT will work together to have a
robust, diverse group of volunteers available to join the CT and help
out when more effort is required.

This delegation grants no explicit power to the Community Team to
enforce decisions; the power granted by this delegation is advisory.
However, other teams may work with the Community Team as they choose and
may allow the community team to have power within their channels. As an
example, at the time of this delegation, some community team members are
involved in list moderation.  Within the rules established by listmaster
for the use of this moderation power, it is appropriate for community
team members to use such power in furtherance of the Community Team
mission.

 -- Andreas, Debian Project Leader
