## Health report:
Update on Diversity & Inclusion mailing lists moderation:
From the events that occurred last month in the D&I mailing list, 4 components of a strong moderation practice were outlined:
>Successful moderation requires at least a few things:
>
> 1. a clear, short list of rules people must follow
> 2. reasons provided to the poster on violation
> 3. a stated appeals process
> 4. consistent application of those rules
The committee has brought an initial draft of these guidelines to a Confluence page[4] and feedback has been provided on an email thread in dev@[5]. Thanks to everyone who has provided input.
Next steps are: Finalize moderation guidelines and publish them in the D&I wiki, and establish a process for appeals. We’ll work on these two points next.
Update on mailing lists status:
We are back to normal cadence and volume. Work in the three main projects for 2019 has started to show progress and tone and interaction has refocused on core work.
