Hi Rory,

>From my perspective, and I am not sure why it is left out of geekfeminism's
policy is that item one under "Harassment includes" should list "national
origin, cultural affiliation" to address the issue of people making
offensive comments about people from particular countries or cultures.

We might even include something like "OpenStreetMap participation style" in
that list so we do not have to tolerate disparaging remarks about remote
mappers, craft mappers, newbie mappers or folks that participate through
non-mapping contributions.

And I would change or add to the first line "Offensive or disparaging
comments..." because "disparaging" or "derogatory" are open to much less
debate than the very subjective "offensive". How many endless discussions
will there be (or have their been) about what is offensive as opposed to
the somewhat easier to identify, disparaging or derogatory comment.

I am also not convinced that an OSMF supported resource can have its own
Code of Conduct, but that is another discussion.

Cheers
blake
