<p>2. Following violation of the <a href="/policies/code-of-conduct/">W3C Code of Conduct</a>, Chairs may gently remind about minor Code of Conduct violations, such as inadvertent microaggressions in public (meeting, email list) using language such as, "As a reminder, Person's pronoun's are they/them." This shows support for the microagressed person and demonstrates what will and won't be tolerated without pointing a finger at an individual. All other discussions of code of conduct violation should be in private unless there is an emergency (such as active assault in person). If a chair must remind a participant about the Code of Conduct:

I understand the need to clarify how warnings are issued but this new paragraph removes the ability of a chair to suspend participation by a person who has not formally joined the group, such as limiting interaction on GitHub. Is that intended ?

Thanks for pointing that out. I didn't mean to delete it. Edit coming.

Given that "the Code of Conduct" is the focus of this section, I think it can almost always be referenced as simply "the Code" — or it should always be referenced as "the Code of Conduct".

GitHub won't let me make a second suggestion, targeting a single line, so I'm putting this into the large suggestion. These space-surrounded hyphens should be space-surrounded em-dashes, and there's no reason to indent this <p> start.

Tangentially, I'm wondering why numbered paragraphs (and larger) aren't being handled as ordered lists. The drop-indent makes such lists much easier to read and interpret logically, especially when their content is more than a line or two of text.
