Thanks a lot for explaining the background of this discussion Clifford and Mikel.
There are five talk lists from the US and four topic-specific lists that have adopted a CoC according to the mailing lists wiki [1]. Eight of them have accepted the US Chapter's CoC [2], while the diversity mailing list has a different CoC specified [3]. My personal view is to accept HOT's CoC [4] within this list as well, since it is widely adopted in al communication channels of HOT apart from here. I support Mikel's suggestion of a discussion within the mailing list to decide if a CoC should be adopted in this mailing list; and if so, what should be the governing text. I will follow up with a poll for the mailing list in the coming days for these discussions unless there are objections to me doing so.
