Hi all,<br>
I've drafted a suggested amendment to our CoC to help us answer the
question of what is/is not in scope of a CoC breach.<br>

One thing I've been pondering since seeing the first
few questions about<br>
CoC being discussed is how to "classify" what is
considered a CoC<br>
breach. I'm yet to see any hard guidelines as to what
is/is not<br>
acceptable. (And this sucks up large amounts of
bandwidth on email lists).<br>

<div>You did good research on this for FOSS4G CoC so it'd
be great if you could get the ball rolling here! <br>

Ok, I'll start looking into it.<br>

Looking around for what we can borrow as a standard
reference, I wonder<br>
whether we can borrow from film classifications:<br>
<br>
I'm familiar with the Australian classifications
(being an Australian<br>
myself), which are well defined:<br>
