Fwd: Updated Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct (CEPC) is adopted

On behalf of W3C, I would like to express my gratitude to:

  * Tzviya Siegman (Editor and Chair)
  * An Qi Li (Editor and Chair)
  * Ada Rose Cannon (Editor)
  * and the entire Positive Work Environment Team

for helping W3C reach the milestone of adopting an updated Code of 
Ethics and Professional Conduct.

This updated code has W3C taking a leadership position in demanding 
proper behaviors.  It speaks to our values as individuals and as a 
consortium.  It is far more descriptive than the previous code.  And it 
enables an environment which should help us address issues that we have 
in inclusion and diversity.

Thank you.

Jeff Jaffe, CEO, W3C

Dear Advisory Committee Representatives, Advisory Board, Chairs, and TAG,

It is my pleasure to announce that the W3C Code of Ethics and 
Professional Conduct dated 16 July 2020 has been adopted:

   https://www.w3.org/Consortium/cepc/cepc-20200716/

W3C's Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct defines accepted and 
acceptable behaviors and promotes high standards of professional 
practice. The goals of this code are to define acceptable and expected 
standards of behavior, provide a benchmark, ensure transparency in 
community and group management, ensure an environment where people can 
participate without fear of harassment, and contribute to the identity 
of the organization.

All Members who responded to the Call for Review [1] supported adoption 
of this updated CEPC. One Member proposed two editorial changes and 
these have been accepted and incorporated. An explanation of these 
changes can be found in the Disposition of Comments [2].

Please join us in thanking the Positive Work Environment Community Group 
[3] for producing this new Code.

For Tim Berners-Lee, Director,
Xueyuan Jia, W3C Marketing and Communications
