Sure, a simple clarification. The OSMF hosted mailing lists fall under the
etiquette and moderation guidelines at
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Etiquette. The HOT Code of Conduct applies
to different domains and set of actors, most especially Voting Members of HOT.

Dear all HOT Us Inc members, subscribers of the hot at openstreetmap
mailing-list and OSMF members,
There's is something weird in Dale Kunce (HOT US Inc President and OSMF member)
in this email announcing that the HOT US Inc Code of Conduct
https://www.hotosm.org/hot_ code_of_conduct will be enforced on the hot at
openstreetmap mailing-list (an OpenStreetMap mailing list to discuss uses of
OSM in the humanitarian and development sectors [1]) which like other
OpenStreetMap thematic mailing lists [2] (software development, tagging etc
...) and other discussions fora (wiki, forum etc) belong to the commons of the
OpenStreetMap project and is regulated via the OSMF and the OSM members and is
yet not subject to agreed upon and enforced CoC as reminded by the last OSMF
election discussions [3].
It would be beneficial for the regulations of the OpenStreetMap commons, that
the President of HOT US Inc refrain from enforcing his own organization's
conversational policy and procedures (which has never been voted by the HOT US
Inc membership) over an OSM mailing list and narrow his focus and actions on
the resources of his own organizations (membership mailing list, tools etc) or
the conversations of the HOT US Inc membership.
It would also be beneficial to assess and look at the moderation of the hot at
openstreetmap mailing-list from a non HOT US Inc only perspective, shall we
want this list to be the mailing list of anyone OpenStreeMap members (and not
yet members) interested into the use of OpenStreetMap diversified and
decentralized and not the list of only-one organization of the OpenStreetMap
ecosystem active across the humanitarian and development sectors.
Best,
Nicolas

Earlier today someone on this list made some rude and disparaging remarks about
the iD developers. This is not the first time an outside supporting group has
been attacked by members of this list. Your words have meaning. Your words can
have far greater impact than you believe. One individual, not elected, can have
a huge negative impact that directly affects HOT's mission.
One of HOT's biggest fans and supporters has unsubscribed from this list,
rightly so, because of these attacks. The individual was and is key to helping
the OSM community with important technology tools that we need to map better.
I would like to take this opportunity to remind everyone of the Code of Conduct
https://www.hotosm.org/hot_ code_of_conduct. It will be enforced and offenders
will be asked to leave our community if you cannot help us form a positive
welcoming community. The Code of Conduct is not for some special group to
enforce the power of a strong CoC lies with the community to enforce good
positive communication norms.
Thanks
