The reason that ASF guidelines are more useful is that we can iterate over them, rev it 1.1 or 2.0 and we speak from our own collective experience.
While the authors of a third party CoC could be receptive, it doesn't follow our development methodology, and we can be blindsided by their edits in the months or years we aren't paying attention. If the committee decides to adopt the ASF policy, problems can be fixed.
