This is, in practice, not a huge issue. Violations on mailing lists 
would fall under the responsibilities of the list moderators, and I 
think the CWG (or MT) is the working group ultimately responsible. 
Violations on the API (website) are a DWG responsibility, governed by 
the ban policy[1]. SOTM is under the responsibility of the SOTM WG, and 
I imagine they'd delegate responsibility to the event planners when it 
comes to the actual event.

This is of course straying from the topic of diversity-talk@ a great 
deal, do in violation of what some have proposed for a Code of 
Conduct[2]. A more suitable venue for the entire CoC discussion would be 
the general talk list or other non-topic specific lists.
