[COC-discuss] Reaching out to other foundations re standardising CoC docs and processes

[Cameron Shorter]

Hi Camille,
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.)

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.

I do agree that there would likely be other foundations which would be 
better set up to lead a cross-organisation initiative.

Regards, Cameron
