Not sure where this experience comes from. |

Comrel is independent, its procedures are documented in the [wiki] page. |
| 14 |
The Council interaction with Comrel is mainly related to long-term |
| 15 |
actions appeals. |

Comrel, as stated in on the [wiki] page and also many many many times |
| 18 |
all over, focuses on defusing situations when possible. |

Long-term disciplinary actions happen quite rarely since luckily our |
| 21 |
community has people behaving decently and even short-term time-outs to |
| 22 |
cool-off people aren't dished that often. |

Given that we have to act with some additional level of secrecy mainly |
| 25 |
to prevent having reporters enjoying some level of retaliation outside |
| 26 |
Gentoo by the reported, I can understand there are a number of |
| 27 |
assumptions and wild ideas being spun and run. |

Please spend a little time to read the fine document :) |
