Re: New Assembly Members

Ludo had mentioned: I agree: we should exclude the notion of "non-endorsing member". You really don't want people who don't endorse. That's one of our main points here: to offer a healthy environment. To give examples of what happens when you don't have norms in place, here are articles from gnu.misc.discuss (and they scrubbed the worse -- sometimes you only see it quoted): https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/gnu-misc-discuss/2021-03/msg00060.html https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/gnu-misc-discuss/2021-04/msg00002.html https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/gnu-misc-discuss/2020-02/msg00114.html https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/gnu-misc-discuss/2021-03/msg00173.html or in the private gnu lists (no links to archives available, and I won't forward any literal text since it is a private list) the naming of specific people for backstabber awards. We want our projects and lists to have a code of conduct and the ability to remove toxic immature trolling when it becomes a problem. Ricardo mentions: I think we should *all* question the social contract and revise it as needed! We don't give up on critical thinking. We just behave reasonably when we bring up our thoughts. But we should all endorse the social contract as we try to improve the parts that might need it.
