[HOT] Mailing List Code of Conduct

[Can Unen]

Thanks a lot for explaining the background of this discussion Clifford and
Mikel.

There are five talk lists from the US and four topic-specific lists that
have adopted a CoC according to the mailing lists wiki [1]. Eight of them
have accepted the US Chapter's CoC [2], while the diversity mailing list
has a different CoC specified [3]. My personal view is to accept HOT's CoC
[4] within this list as well, since it is widely adopted in al
communication channels of HOT apart from here.

I support Mikel's suggestion of a discussion within the mailing list to
decide if a CoC should be adopted in this mailing list; and if so, what
should be the governing text.

I will follow up with a poll for the mailing list in the coming days for
these discussions unless there are objections to me doing so.

Best

Can
