That sounds pretty much exactly what at least I would be looking for in a code of conduct, I think it is quite well written and balanced. However, the important disadvantage of making your CoC available only to people who are already _at_ the conference is that people for whom the presence of a CoC is a criterion for joining the conference will never know there is one. So if they just put their social conduct policy on their website in addition to the brochure, I think it would be fine. Could you maybe ask your FOSDEM contact if they could do that, Carl?
