Those views are not mutually exclusive. The OIDF could approve a code-of-conduct or even just a simple "values statement" (which could be done via an all-member ballot, it doesn't have to be top-down from the Board). It would serve as a tool for the community to use in its role as enforcer of those shared values.<br>
