Last week, I spent some time talking with Emelia Smith about cooperation with other developer communities on the social web, outside of the ActivityPub and Indie Web ecosystems. We thought that making a proposal that the CG could pass as a resolution would be a good step forward. I volunteered to write a compact, proposal-ready statement. Here's the first draft: /PROPOSED: Our Community Group includes members that focus on the ActivityPub, Indie Web, ATProto, Nostr and DSNP ecosystems. We re-commit ourselves to working together in this group under the W3C Code of Conduct https://www.w3.org/policies/code-of-conduct/ and the General Communications Policies for W3C Community Groups https://www.w3.org/community/about/process/#general-policies . We further commit to hold ourselves to the same standard of conduct with social web developers//, regardless of the protocol they work with,// outside of the Community group context, in public or private, such as in online discussions or in-person meetings./ I think this grounds our expected behaviour in already well-established policies. It reemphasizes the level of behaviour we all committed to when we joined the group. And it extends our expected level of behaviour outside of the CG context (mailing list, meetings, GitHub, forums) to other contexts as well. I can put this up on my private GitHub repo or add it to the SWICG repos, or just add it to the agenda for the November meeting (TPAC). Evan
