Code of Conduct and Reporting Guidelines RC1 -- membership vote.
The Release Candidate Code of Conduct and Reporting Guidlelines were approved by the Community Working Group. Now they are proposed to the Social.Coop membership.
The documents are here:
Code of Conduct
https://git.coop/social.coop/community/docs/wikis/code-of-conduct/Code-of-Conduct-V3-Release-Candidate-1
Reporting Guidelines
https://git.coop/social.coop/community/docs/wikis/Reporting-Guide/Reporting-Guide-v3-Release-Candidate-1
We refer to them as Release Candidates to emphasize that they are subject to revision as we apply them and discover opportunities for improvement.
Following the bylaws (https://social.coop/bylaws), these two documents are posted here for six days for Social.Coop members to vote and comment. The text includes key elements in brackets -- these are procedural pieces that need to be determined by the CWG when it comes to implementing the CoC and RG. (In addition, Fabián Heredia, Matt Cropp and others are preparing Federation Guidelines that address off-instance violations, which will be discussed and adopted separately.)
For more info and background see the Git repo: https://git.coop/social.coop/community/docs/wikis/home as well as the various Community Working Group threads here on Loomio. (Starting here: https://www.loomio.org/d/nwTUWefP/exploring-a-code-of-conduct-for-members)

echoing @h I think adoption is clearly positive. I expect there will be concerns raised and room to improve as it's put in practice (and several things to just be fleshed out / added that aren't complete enough yet).

I strongly agree with @jamescurryiv that we should be more explicit about being antifascist, antiracist, anti-transphobic and that we prioritize creating a safe space. That being said, a CoC is better than no CoC so I'm voting yes!

The documents are a good starting point as they stand, and a solid base on which we can build going forward. Thanks to everyone involved.

This is just part of a long process; I think there is much that could be improved, but that it's good enough to use for now.

Plenty of work and improvement yet to make, but good to have basic frameworks in place.
