I've clarified that the responsibility is for the CoCc to notify the Core Team liaison in any case of doubt as to whether an incident involves Core Team member(s) and harassment. --- topic_folders/policies/incident-response.md | 41 ++++++--------------- 1 file changed, 12 insertions(+), 29 deletions(-) diff --git a/topic_folders/policies/incident-response.md b/topic_folders/policies/incident-response.md index 315ee6f0..371cf088 100644 --- a/topic_folders/policies/incident-response.md +++ b/topic_folders/policies/incident-response.md @@ -49,34 +49,17 @@ Individuals reported often get upset, defensive, or deny the report.
