Enforcement Team

We're preparing the "Enforcement Team" for the new Symfony Code of Conduct.

Come back to this article in a few days to see the members of that team.

Our Pledge

In the interest of fostering an open and welcoming environment, the enforcement team

pledge to ensure that the spirit of the:doc:`Code of Conduct</contributing/code_of_conduct/index>`

is respected. Our main priority is to ensure the safety of our community members.

The second goal is to help educate the community as a whole to be aware of the CoC

and how to help implement its spirit throughout the community. In case these goals

conflict, we will prioritize safety of community members over all other goals.

If you think there is or has been a violation to the code of conduct please contact

enforcement team or if you prefer contact only individual members of the enforcement team.

Members

Here are all the members of the Code of Conduct enforcement team. You can contact

any of them directly using the contact details below or you can also contact all of

them at once by emailing **coc@symfony.com**.

About the Enforcement Team

The:doc:`Symfony project leader</contributing/code/core_team>` appoints enforcement

team with candidates they see fit. The enforcement team will consist of at least

3 people. The team should be representing as many demographics as possible,

ideally from different employers.

Reporting Guidelines

We're preparing the "Reporting Guidelines" to explain how can you report a

violation of the new Symfony Code of Conduct. Come back to this article in a

few days to see the process in detail.

If you believe someone is violating the Code of Conduct we ask that you report

it to the:doc:`enforcement team</contributing/code_of_conduct/enforcement_team>`

by emailing, Twitter, in person or any way you see fit.

**All reports will be kept confidential.** The privacy of everyone included in

the report is of our highest concern. Second to privacy there is transparency.

After every report we will determine if a public statement should be made. If

that's the case, the identities of all victims, reporters, and the accused will

remain confidential unless those individuals instruct us otherwise. The details

of the incident may also be generalized.

If you believe anyone is in physical danger or doing something that is against

the law, please notify appropriate emergency services first by calling the relevant

local authorities. If you are unsure what service or agency is appropriate to

contact, include this in your report and we will attempt to notify them.

In your report please include:

* Your contact info for follow-up contact.

* Names (legal, nicknames, or pseudonyms) of any individuals involved.

* 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 description of what occurred.

* If there is a publicly available record (e.g. a mailing list archive or a

public IRC or Slack log), please include a link and a screenshot.

* If you believe this incident is ongoing.

* Any other information you believe we should have.

What happens after you file a report?

You will receive a reply from the:doc:`enforcement team</contributing/code_of_conduct/enforcement_team>`

acknowledging receipt as soon as possible, but within 24 hours.

The team member receiving the report will immediately contact all or some other

enforcement team members to review the incident and determine:

* What happened.

* Whether this event constitutes a Code of Conduct violation.

* What kind of response is appropriate.

If this is determined to be an ongoing incident or a threat to physical safety,

the team's immediate priority will be to protect everyone involved. This means

we may delay an "official" response until we believe that the situation has ended

and that everyone is physically safe.

Once the team has a complete account of the events, they will make a decision as

to how to respond. Responses may include:

* Nothing (if we determine no Code of Conduct violation occurred).

* A private reprimand from the Code of Conduct response team to the individual(s)

involved.

* An imposed vacation (i.e. asking someone to "take a week off" from a mailing

list or Slack).

* A permanent or temporary ban from some or all Symfony conference/community

spaces (events, meetings, mailing lists, IRC, Slack, etc.)

* A request to engage in mediation and/or an accountability plan.

* On a case by case basis, other actions may be possible but will usually be

coordinated with the core team and the Symfony company.

We'll respond within one week to the person who filed the report with either a

resolution or an explanation of why the situation is not yet resolved.

Once we've determined our final actions, we'll contact the original reporter to

let them know what action (if any) we'll be taking. We'll take into account feedback

from the reporter on the appropriateness of our response, but our response will be

determined by what will be best for community safety.

The enforcement team keeps a private record of all incidents. By default all reports

are shared with the entire enforcement team unless the reporter specifically asks

to exclude specific enforcement team members, in which case these enforcement team

members will not be included in any communication on the incidents as well as records

created related to the incidents.

Enforcement team members are expected to inform the enforcement team and the reporters

in case of conflicts on interest and recuse themselves if this is deemed a problem.

Appealing the response

Only permanent resolutions (such as bans) may be appealed. To appeal a decision

of the working group, contact the:doc:`enforcement team</contributing/code_of_conduct/enforcement_team>`

with your appeal and they will review the case.
