code of conduct question for Board candidates

[Marina Zhurakhinskaya <marinaz redhat com>]

Hi,

Thanks to all the candidates for stepping up to run for the board and for all the work you already do for the 
Foundation!

Many free software organizations have adopted codes of conduct for their events [1] and some for their 
communities [2]. Detailed codes of conduct with specific enforcement guidelines signal to newcomers that the 
community has high standards of behavior. They give participants who observe or are subject to inappropriate 
behavior something to point to that shows that such behavior is outside of what is expected and guidelines on 
how to proceed in getting it addressed.

What do you think about adopting a detailed code of conduct, similar to the one used for GUADEC 2014 [3], for 
all GNOME events and creating a similarly detailed code of conduct for the GNOME community?

Thanks,
Marina
