<div dir="ltr">Maria,<div><br></div><div>thanks for putting this together.</div><div><br></div><div>I have add some of my comments and an alternate statement to the document. I created an alternate statement to help clarify the information being relayed in the document as I saw it and I also removed the details about events and openness work.</div><div><br></div><div>I think a clear statement about what is going on, what you plan to do about it, and a call to action would get bogged down by a rehash or description of how things work which could probably go into an actual CoC. I am trying to set the tone forward thinking and encourage behavior I think is best rather then try to explain details of operations.</div><div><br></div><div>I think that building mechanisms for reporting CoC violations and clarity about how things work will be key to the CoC. At the risk of sharing something you already have a handle on, I recommend reading this article about CoC: <a href="https://opensource.guide/code-of-conduct/">https://opensource.guide/code-of-conduct/</a></div><div><br></div><div>I hope that this is helpful. If my alternative text is too distracting, feel free to blow it away. I am here to help, not tell anyone how to be. I would have left comments and edits in the document without an alternative, but found it difficult to do so because I had a difference approach.</div><div><br></div><div>I applaud everyone for participating in this conversation and putting in their two cents.</div><div><br></div><div>-Guido</div><div><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Sat, Aug 11, 2018 at 8:25 AM Jeff McKenna <<a href="mailto:jmckenna@gatewaygeomatics.com">jmckenna@gatewaygeomatics.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Thanks María, edited. -jeff<br>
