If i read the follow up of this topic i get scared! Setting up a central
instance(in whatever form) to report wrong behavoir? We are a group of peers
and i see no reason why we should establish such a platform of denouncing.
We had rotten apples in the past and solved this within our regional Groups.
Feel free to contact this person and try to help him. We have established a
regional net of mentors who can also help with their expirience to solve
conflicts. Trust is the Key for our work - we are a open system and we do self
regulate, no need for such platform.
That's actually why I proposed to just drop a note somewhere and do
this by email, because I don't think this «
issue-which-isn't-really-one » deserves anything more.
And in fact, improper behavior will often be due to lack of
experience. A good talk between the incriminated ambassador and a
mentor (some of us don't have mentors as we joined before mentorship
was set up) would fix most of the « issues » and enter in the « self
regulation » case you're talking about.
Of course, when you want to mentor someone and guide him, you need to
know what his flaws are. That's where the « denouncement » (a much too
strong word, but you get the idea ;) comes into play.

Hope this thread dies fast.
You're underestimating the power of « unconstructivism » of this mailing list :)
