A very recent one is the proposed Stack Exchange one at 
http://meta.stackexchange.com/q/240594/272090. One of the comments makes 
the point that a one-size fits all CoC doesn't work, and there are 
specific issues to any community. For example, SE deals with a lot of 
inexperienced users asking questions, so issues were raised around that. 
For OSM, we need to figure out what's needed for us and other open data 
projects. Do we have examples of CoCs from other open data projects? I 
checked Freebase and didn't find a CoC.

Because we're intrinsically a *geographic* project, the following 
comments from the SE CoC proposal are of particular relevance

- http://meta.stackexchange.com/a/240638/272090
- http://meta.stackexchange.com/a/240635/272090
- General comments about not having English as a first language
