Samvera’s model for responding to incidents of Code of Conduct or Anti-Harassment violations is to have a team of responders, called the Response Team, responsible for and capable of handling incidents reported either online or at in-person events and determining if a violation has occurred. The Response Team is a separate body from the Samvera Helpers, though membership may overlap (individuals may serve in both capacities, but do not have to do so).

When the incident is considered handled, the Response Team hands off any related documentation to the Samvera Board, who is responsible for maintaining it as part of the organization’s records.
Sections of the Incident Response Manual (PDF) related to the Response Team are (to be linked once the manual is posted):
"Preparing Response Team Members For Incident Handling"
"Onboarding Response Team Members"
"Assemble Incident Team" (step 6 on the checklist)

Process for joining the Response Team:
The Samvera Community uses a vetting process to ensure that Code of Conduct Response Team members can operate with the trust of the Samvera community.
Read and make sure you can agree to uphold the Code of Conduct and Anti-Harassment policy. If you have any questions about these documents, contact the Community Manager.
Fill out the Response Team volunteer form to nominate yourself.
The Community Manager will inform the Community that someone has been nominated as a Response Team Member, and solicit feedback with a specific deadline. The Community Manager will direct people to provide feedback about the nominee privately.
If the prospective member is approved to serve, the Community Manager will make an announcement to the Community with a brief introduction to the new Response Team member.
See the Samvera Code of Conduct Incident Response Plan for full details of the vetting process.
