Code of Conduct
This thread is for managing the adoption and amendment of our instance Code of Conduct at the full instance level. Most discussion of and work on the CoC should happen at the Community Working Group level, so this is a place for ratification when full co-op approval is required.

As there are concerns about the CoC in it's current state, I'd be happier to hold tight before going live with something that's a little more ironed out

I haven't been keeping track of the development of the CoC and I'm unfamiliar with CoC in general, but I see some dissent in the other votes so I'm reluctant to let this draft go through without having read an explanation of its pros/cons/criticisms

As described; I would vote yes if we can't get a new CoC lead to develop a better CoC short-term. But if we can get someone to lead a short-term effort to make or adopt a better CoC, I'll vote no.

Uncertain. Much like @cathalgarvey, I think we should attempt to deal with @meltheadorable et al.'s points, if we can. If we can't do it because we don't have the time or the contributions, what we have is probably better than nothing.

I made a few tiny edits but agree to the proposal whether or not they are included in the final draft. This is an excellent and well-written policy.

I made a few tiny edits but agree to the proposal whether or not they are included in the final draft. This is an excellent and clearly-written policy. I respect and appreciate Melody's concerns about process. We need to start somewhere, though.

EDIT: previously disagreed, but having read more and pondered I reckon it's useful to have SOMETHING short-term even if it's not optimal. It doesn't positively dangerous, so it could serve as a stop-gap until further refinements are made.

Given the concerns raised by others (e.g. @christinahendricks and @meltheadorable) I think it would be good to go back to the drawing board.
