Hi all, I have put the GF one as a draft on the OSM wiki:
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Diversity/MailingList/CodeOfConduct Feel free to edit it as appropriate. At some point I'll go through and add the suggestions.

Agreed. "national origin" has been included in anti-racism laws in the UK since the 1960s. > 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. Broadly in favour. Ilya Zverik said: > OpenStreetMap needs everything. More editors, more tutorials, more > > rendering styles, more mappers, more software.

"offensive" is vague and can be used against marginalized people (e.g. "LGBTQ rights are offensive my sincerely held religious beliefs"). Usually I use "harmful", but those work too.

Classism is a harmful thing, so I agree we should put that in. Better readability makes it easier for non-native English speakers.
