+## Escalation
 
 The OpenJS Foundation provides an [escalation path](https://github.com/openjs-foundation/cross-project-council/blob/HEAD/CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md#escalate-an-issue) should you feel your report has not been handled appropriatly. Recipients of reports commit to participate in the defined path of escalation when required, as required by the OpenJS Foundation Code of Conduct.
 
 > The OpenJS Foundation maintains a [Code of Conduct Panel (CoCP)](https://github.com/openjs-foundation/cross-project-council/blob/HEAD/conduct/FOUNDATION_CODE_OF_CONDUCT_REQUIREMENTS.md#code-of-conduct-panel). This is a foundation-wide team established to manage escalation when a reporter believes that a report to a member project or the CPC has not been properly handled. In order to escalate to the CoCP send an email to [email protected].
