general discussion about social conflicts (was: Request for MOTU Council to consider Marco Rodrigues (Kmos) not potentially suitable for MOTU)

[Stefan Potyra]

Hi,

(in response to: 
<https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/motu-council/2007-December/000597.html>, 
CC-ing ubuntu-motu, as I guess we should continue with the general discussion 
there).

	* proactive reaction from MC at that time

I guess I'm guilty there too, having been a MC member at the time when the 
conflict first arose. Sorry!

	* policy for conflict resolution

With this, I don't think of a policy document describing the exact details of 
how a conflict should get resolved, but rather to have some outline what 
measures can be taken: E.g. first actions could include mediation attempts 
but it should also be clear what last resort actions can be taken, in case 
every other attempt fails.
