I agree: Peter’s issue doesn’t seem to be a Code of Conduct issue, it seems closer to a Code of Ethics issue — but even that’s not quite right. I think this is more properly a grievance to be taken up directly with the Board.
Suggestion: the CoC team right want to consider a couple lines on the wiki page that (further) clarify the intent of the Code of Conduct, as opposed to the intent of a Code of Ethics [1][2]. The two are similar in their ultimate goals, but address different areas of our professional lives and activities [3].
