That is exactly where this is going to go. From a previous example given as something to emulate: http://couchdb.apache.org/conduct.html Diversity Statement " ... No matter how you identify yourself or how others perceive you: we welcome you. Though no list can hope to be comprehensive, we explicitly honour diversity in: age, culture, ethnicity, genotype, gender identity or expression, language, national origin, neurotype, phenotype, political beliefs, profession, race, religion, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, subculture and technical ability. ..." You start down this path and you create more and more classifications and explanations of interactions between classifications, until even the lawyers beg for mercy. In the end it either turns into a mine field of unreasonable expectations or folks realize that what they really want can be encapsulated in, 'Be nice'. > > I think your example is a good one but I do think we need examples so > perhaps: > > A safe, respectful, productive and collaborative environment is free > of non-technical or personal comments related to gender, sexual > orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size or race. > > ??? Per your previous post: "We could add the word inappropriate.." So who decides what is appropriate or for that matter safe or respectful? Or do we resort to the Justice Stewart test, to paraphrase, '"I know it when I see it, and this is not it". In which case we are back to the eye of the beholder. > > Sincerely, > > JD > -- Adrian Klaver adrian.klaver@aklaver.com
