Great.  Could the board please find some way to endorse the Code of
Conduct as best they see fit.  Even if it isn't perhaps as definitive or
"imposing" as some people might like it would still be useful for the
board as a whole to sign off on the idea so no one else thinks there is
any doubt of the actual idea.  It would be reasonable to note that a Code
of Conduct is not something the board can impose but similiarly to the HIG
or the Style guide these are standards the community itself will need to
enforce if it is to have any meaning.
