Thank you chaals for writing and pointing out w3process issue-146; I  
wasn't aware of it.

I looked at w3process issue-146  
<https://www.w3.org/community/w3process/track/issues/146> and what  
contributes to closing it is this (member-only) message:
   https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/w3c-ac-forum/2014OctDec/0176.html

... which stresses out:

[[ The [Procedures] document says "Ombuds will operate by procedures  
appropriate to their sites and jurisdictions."  That sets a clear  
expectation that we have the flexibility to align with local requirements  
]]


With regard to your suggestion to place the same notice somewhere near the  
very beginning of the CEPC [1], Daniel Dardailler and I are of the opinion  
that it would not be appropriate nor necessary, given that the code of  
conduct is a manifesto, and that it points to the procedures, a click away.
