I want to make sure our CoC does not follow that and is really useful. If you compare it with the CoC OSM is writing, you can see there are many differences. At this point I am not sure what parts should be rewritten, that's why I want a working group on that.<br><br></div><div>Cheers,<br></div><div>María.<br></div><div><br></div>* not sure to what extent they want their names here<br></div></div></div>
