The CRC reviews reports of violations of the DUNE Community Agreement[link] and recommends actions the Collaboration should take to ensure accountability and protect Collaboration members from harm. Please see the CA for details of all reporting avenues. You may contact the CRC (all members) via dune-crc @ fnal.gov or you may contact any individual member(s) of the CRC. Please note that any information stored on national lab servers may not be private, so for sensitive matters we suggest that people use alternative methods of contacting CRC members or simply contact the CRC to set up a conversation without providing details
