Attendance:

- @Tomaterr (leader)
- @prod (secretary)
- @ctrl_o (delegate)
- @outfrost
- @maidmage

Agenda:
- Declare the scope and goal of creating a code of conduct.
- Suggest what questions tsuki's code of conduct must answer.
- Generate ideas to resolve the previously suggested questions to be used for the Draft of the Code of Conduct.
Decisions:
- The Code of Conduct will be effective for the entire t/suki ecosystem, including the forum, matrix, wiki and forgejo server.
- The Code of Conduct exists to achieve the following:
- Set rules for how people interact
- Create safety and belonging for marginalized users
- Improve experience of members
- Aid in resolving conflicts
- Be sufficiently general and concise
- Provide clarity and a point of contact for amendments
- Portion of the questions the Code of Conduct should answer were explored:
- About the way Code of Conduct is written
- How general/specific should it be?
- What is the scope? How wide?
- About interpreting the Code of Conduct
- How to deal with rule breakers?
- How to protect marginalized groups during conflict?
- How to deal with things that are not offensive but still disruptive?
- How will it be enforced?
- How often should the guidelines change?
- How to handle change suggestions from community?
- Who resolves code of conduct disputes?
- About the rules within the Code of Conduct
- What topics and terms should be banned?
- What ideas/ideologies do we consider harmful?
- What is our AI policy?
- What is our NSFW policy?
- How do we define spam?
- What is our advertising policy?
- Ideas for answering the questions explored were explored:
- Make clear that enforcement is up to the mod team
- Factor in intentionality when deciding on the severity of its consequences
- Consider writing two versions (full and abridged) of the Code of Conduct
- No encouraging usage of AI (such as "This is what GPT said:", suggesting using an LLM to solve a problem), allowing discussion about AI as a concept
- Disclosure requirement for AI code, no leniency for AI art
- No endorsements of crypto/nft/gambling contents
Notes:
- This is the first of the two meetings where we decided to post a when2meet and decide on a meeting schedule when it was sufficiently filled, this caused the meeting schedule to be announced two days before the meeting commenced. Another when2meet was posted to decide the time for the next meeting, ending the term specified for this policy.
- @halfcourtyeet has requested to withdraw from the circle, and @rohajin has expressed that she will not be able to attend the meetings for an extended period of time, making today's attendance effectively 100%.
- The creation of the draft will be done asynchronously within the Community Circle text channel until next meeting.
- A need to shuffle the turn order on each round was suggested and practiced for the latter half of the meeting.
Backlogged Agenda for Next Meeting:
- Tabled whether to define positive behaviours within the Code of Conduct.
- Resolve any contradiction in our answers and come up with the draft for the Code of Conduct.
- Decide who will be responsible for writing the Code of Conduct (aside from @tomaterr, who has volunteered to do so for the draft)
Retrospective:
- Improvement of the meeting in regards to the structure prepared and examples researched beforehand was noted.
- Suggestions to continue with the answering round as the time ran out after one round was raised.
- A desire for meeting schedule to be posted earlier was raised.
- A need for introductions to be faster was raised.
- Noted that about 10 minutes were being lost by late joins, and request for everyone to join before the start of the meeting was raised.
- Importance for contributions to be short and terse was reemphasized, and a potential need for a time limit was discussed.
