I believe that this would be a highly contentious change.

The concern, expressed by a number of maintainers in the past, is that a project could be forced by the Foundation or the CPC, to ban a contributor for their actions in a different project, without having had any transparency or say in the CoC enforcement process.

I suggest leaving this change out of this particular PR (as this would be reverting an edit made to 2.0, not updating 2.0 to 2.1) and discussing the consistency issue as part of #852.

That's not what this means though. "community" doesn't mean it must be the entire community, it just means it may be. With "project", it must not be.

IMO community reads as must and project community reads as must not.

hmm - to me, it would require a qualifier for that, because "community" is a vague, undefined term.

What about:

I don't think this is the point in the doc where we should be clarifying the term "community". It's also referred to elsewhere, e.g. in the "Temporary Ban" section:

Consequence: A temporary ban from any sort of interaction or public communication with the community for a specified period of time.

To be clear, that bit is already now in our CoC.

I think the issue here is that as with our CLA, we're using an upstream text that presumes a single "project" or a single "community" as the user; we instead have the wider OpenJS Foundation "project"/"community" as an umbrella for individual named projects.

So really this upstream change isn't the issue; the issue is that we do not include a "community" definition in e.g. a preamble to this document. And that's a problem that's independent of the Contributor Covenant version we're using.

This is not the case. There is more than one "version 2.0". See #852 (comment)

Oof! I hadn't properly registered this. Apologies and thanks for catching it!

Unfortunately, I don't think that changes the fact that some projects will have an issue with this edit.

I think our reasonable options are:

  1. Don't upgrade for now (and allow JSON Schema to run Contributor Covenant 2.1 until we sort this out), or
  2. Update to Contributor Covenant 2.1, but keep permanent bans scoped to the project's community, or
  3. First agree on a definition of the meaning and scope of community in Change to Contributor Covenant Code of Conduct are inconsistent #852 that allows us to update to the latest version of Contributor Covenant 2.0 (EthicalSource/contributor_covenant@a63f697), and then update to Contributor Covenant 2.1.

I don't think options 1 and 2 are viable, given that this discussion has identified the need to define "community" in this context. And as I point out above, this also matters for temporary bans, which even now target the whole "community", without a "project" qualifier.

My sense of prior discussions on this has been that we consider "community" to here mean the project's community. But let's talk about this at the CPC meeting tomorrow?

Sorry, scratch that, I see @jorydotcom's explanation. Seems like this conversation could be marked resolved.
