I love that people took the time and effort to draft this, but boy am I jaded on the practicality of these things. CoE's are inherently utopian and seldom adhered to behind closed doors.
My take is that at best, CoE's are for instilling homogeneity by outlining predefined, unquestionable set of shibboleth's for the working class. At it's worst, CoE's are just CYA measures outlined and enforced to avoid lawsuits. Few truly believe.
Most CoE's are also a one-way agreement. When is the last time you heard of a Human Resources, DIB, or "Member Working Group" called out for not upholding the CoE that they wrote? When is the last time you witnessed a CoE violation in the way of bad hiring practices (for the sake of "diversity")?
At this point in my career I feel I could give a whole talk about CoE violations, form and the whole process of writing the code. I won't bore the reader here though.
