This Code of Conduct applies both within project spaces and in public spaces when an individual is representing the project or its community. Users of this website and the CICE Consortium repositories are subject to and bound by the Contributor Covenant Code of Conduct, and persons so using these materials agree to abide by its terms.
The CICE Consortium is responsible for clarifying the standards of acceptable behavior and is expected to take appropriate and fair corrective action in response to any instances of unacceptable behavior.
The CICE Consortium has the right and responsibility to remove, edit, or reject comments, commits, code, wiki edits, issues, and other contributions that are not aligned to this Code of Conduct, or to ban temporarily or permanently any contributor for other behaviors that are deemed inappropriate, threatening, offensive, or harmful.
Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior may be reported by contacting the Community Liaison or Lead Coordinator or individual CICE Consortium members.
The Lead Coordinator and Team Leads will review and investigate all complaints, and will respond in a way that they deem appropriate to the circumstances. The Lead Coordinator has final authority on addressing complaints.
All members of the project team are obligated to maintain confidentiality with regard to the reporter of an incident. Further details of specific enforcement policies may be posted separately. Retaliation against a person who initiates a complaint or an inquiry about such behaviors is equally prohibited.
CICE Consortium members who do not follow or enforce the Code of Conduct in good faith may face temporary or permanent repercussions as determined by the Lead Coordintor and Team Leads.
