Hi Camille,<br>
I wasn't aware that you had been in the space for a while, and am
not aware of what other initiatives are in progress. (All I've seen
is the artifacts of other projects' hard work.)<br>
<br>
I'd be interested to hear you expand on what you know of other
initiatives, if you have contacts we can reach out to, who you think
would be good stewards. Possibly also share some of your history in
this space.<br>
<br>
I do agree that there would likely be other foundations which would
be better set up to lead a cross-organisation initiative.<br>
<br>
Regards, Cameron <br><div><div class="h5">

someone who has been in this space for a while, I think there
are other organizations who could be better stewards for such a

to do so in the coming year. It may make sense to wait on them.</p>

<div>One of the great things about Open Source and Creative
Commons licenses is that there are a few well understood
licenses which have had the benefit of refinements from a
large community.<br>
<br>
I'd love to see the same developed for a Code of Conduct
and associated documents. It seems a waste of our
collective effort to develop multiple versions.<br>

<div>It would be more effort to engage others in the short

term.<br>

<div>How to others feel about this?<br>
