I think it's really OK to meet on the subject of the Code of Conduct in Rome, imagining it's beneficial to work at better understanding of the various opinions and feelings on the subject. That is: how to put it in words; I would assume there is agreement on having the message, expressing that we expect all in our community to behave in a way that respects other people's integrity and dignity. Better understanding other peoples ideas, different than ours, to me seem a useful and necessary step, from where on we can continue. The subject is important enough, and our route even interesting, to deserve it's own time. So yes, please not at the opening meeting. And many probably wanting to have the opportunity to continue after the first meeting, means not having it at the final gathering is a good idea too.
