== Preamble ==
The Mozilla Code of Conduct describes the type of community we are building.  It works in conjunction with
 
* the Anti-Harassment/Discrimination Policy which sets out protections and obligations of employees, and is crafted with specific jurisdictional legal definitions and requirements in mind.
* Mozilla groups for escalation and dispute resolution.
 
This Code of Conduct covers our behaviour as members of the Mozilla Community, in forums, mailing lists, wikis, web sites, IRC channels, bugs, events, public meetings or private correspondence.
 
== Inclusiveness and Diversity ==
Mozilla is an inclusive organization.  We welcome and support diversity, including (without limitation) in age, culture, ethnicity, gender, gender-identity, sexual orientation, language, race, and religious views.
 
Mozilla-based activities should be inclusive and should support diversity, including (without limitation) in age, culture, ethnicity, gender, gender-identity, sexual orientation, language, race, and religious views.
 
Some Mozillians may identify with activities or organizations that do not support the same inclusion and diversity standards as Mozilla. When this is the case:
 
# support for exclusionary practices must not be carried into Mozilla activities.
# support for exclusionary practices in non-Mozilla activities should not be expressed in Mozilla spaces.
# when if (1) and (2) are met, other Mozillians should treat this as a private matter, not a Mozilla issue.
 
== Interaction Style ==
=== Be considerate ===
Our work will be used by other people, and we in turn will depend on the work of others. Any decision we take will affect users and colleagues, and we should take those consequences into account when making decisions.
 
=== Be respectful ===
Everyone can make a valuable contribution to Mozilla. We may not always agree, but disagreement is no excuse for poor manners. We will all experience some frustration now and then, but we don't allow that frustration to turn into a personal attack. A community where people feel uncomfortable or threatened is not a productive one.
 
=== Be collaborative ===
Mozilla is a complex whole made of many parts, it is the sum of many dreams. Collaboration between teams that each have their own goal and vision is essential; for the whole to be more than the sum of its parts, each part must make an effort to understand the whole.
 
Collaboration reduces redundancy and improves the quality of our work. Internally and externally, we ceelebrate good collaboration. Wherever possible, we work closely with upstream projects and others in the free software community to coordinate our efforts.
 
We prefer to work transparently and involve interested parties as early as possible.
 
=== Try to understand different perspectives ===
TBD
 
=== Anger should not lead to threats of violence ===
TBD: something re humor and its risks?
 
=== Empower others ===
TBD: this would include something about openness.
 
== Raising Issues ==
=== Direct conversation ===
First, if you are comfortable having a direct talk with the other person, this is a good way to start.
 
=== Conversation with other trusted Mozillians ===
If you're not comfortable having a direct conversation, identify one or more people you trust.  It will be helpful to identify whether the conflict is because someone is flaming, or behaving in a troll like manner or just won't listen?  Or is it because the person has touched on a personal or identity issue?
 
=== Engaging the Conductors group ===
The Conductors group was formed to deal with difficult communications; and with helping people learn how to communicate in a more productive way.
 
So if the issue is someone is communications style the Conductors are a good place to start.  You can contact the group, or any member of it.  If you don't know anyone in the group ask people you trust for a recommendation to someone in the group.
 
Or you can talk to the module owner Stormy Peters.  Stormy is the module owner because she has a lot of experience but also because of her discretion.  She may or may not be able to help you resolve the issue, but discretion should not be an issue.  If you're not comfortable with anyone in the Conductors group that's an issue for the Module Ownership peers.  Once again you can contact the group or any particular member of it.
 
=== Talk to Mitchell ===
If that still doesn't lead to anyone you trust to raise the issue then Mitchell is probably the last resort.
 
=== Regarding Personal Identity Issues ===
If the issue is a personal identity issue the options above are of course all still available.  In addition, (NOTE:  further TBD...deb is on vacation, so i need to leave a place-holder her until I can talk to her about this.)
