On Tom's comment, I was waiting until we have a firmed up version. On
the communicating in public forums, I must have missed that, do you have
a reference?
What isn't shown here, is that I was writing in a similar fashion that
you would write a resolution for a NP. Consider (very rough):
WHEREAS
The PostgreSQL Global Development Group (PGDG) would like to insure a
safe, respectful, productive and collaborative environment for all.
PGDG Resolves that
1. There shall be a Code of Conduct governing behaviour for the PGDG
community.
2. The CoC is to provide community guidelines for creating and enforcing
a safe, respectful, productive, and collaborative place for any person
who is willing to contribute in a safe, respectful, productive and
collaborative way.
3. The CoC is not about being offended. As with any diverse community,
anyone can get offended at anything.
4. A safe, respectful, productive and collaborative environment is free
of personal attacks and disparaging remarks of any kind.
5. Any sustained disruption of the collaborative space (mailing lists,
IRC etc..) or other PostgreSQL events shall be construed as a violation
of the CoC and appropriate action will be taken by the CoC committee.
6. The CoC is only about interaction with the PostgreSQL community. Your
private and public lives outside of the PostgreSQL community are your own.

Announcing "I'm offended" is basically telling the world you can't
control your own emotions, so everyone else should do it for you.
