## Conflict of Interest and Neutrality

Community leaders must disclose potential conflicts of interest when handling incidents. In such cases, another impartial leader will be assigned to ensure fair and objective enforcement. Leaders will maintain neutrality, avoiding public comments that may bias ongoing investigations.

## Inclusivity in Communication

All members must aim to:

* Use inclusive language that respects the diverse identities in the community
* Avoid assumptions about gender, cultural backgrounds, or personal circumstances
* Be mindful of communication styles—both synchronous (meetings, chats) and asynchronous (emails, forums)—to accommodate diverse availability and time zones

## Healthy Collaboration and Feedback

We encourage members to:

* Resolve conflicts respectfully, seeking common ground rather than escalation
* Collaborate openly, ensuring all contributors receive credit for their efforts
* Avoid gatekeeping by making knowledge and resources accessible to everyone

## Zero Tolerance for Retaliation

No member shall face retaliation for reporting incidents or participating in an investigation. Any form of retaliation will result in serious consequences, including temporary or permanent bans.

## Amendments and Revisions

This Code of Conduct is a living document, evolving with the community. We welcome feedback and suggestions to improve it. Community leaders will review the Code of Conduct regularly to ensure relevance and effectiveness. Any changes will be communicated transparently to all members.
