+# Code of Conduct
+
+Effective: Nov 1, 2018
+
+LF Projects, LLC (“LF Projects”) supports and hosts open source and open
+standards projects (each a “Project”) and undertakes such other activities as is
+consistent with its mission and purpose.
+
+## Introduction 
+
+The purposes of LF Projects, LLC (“LF Projects”) are to:
+
+* support the collaborative development, availability and adoption of open
+  source software, hardware and networking and other technologies and the
+collaborative development, availability and adoption of open protocols and
+standards (individually and collectively, “Open Technology”);
+* host various projects pursuing the development of Open Technology and other
+  technical assets, materials and processes (each such project, which itself may
+include any number of projects, a “Project”);
+* provide enablement and support to Projects to assist their development
+  activities; and
+* undertake such other lawful activity as permitted by law and as consistent
+  with the mission, purpose and tax status of LFP, Inc., a Delaware non-profit
+non-stock corporation and the sole member of LF Projects.
+
+LF Projects hosts communities where participants choose to work together, and in
+that process experience differences in language, location, nationality, and
+experience. In such a diverse environment, misunderstandings and disagreements
+happen, which in most cases can be resolved informally. In rare cases, however,
+behavior can intimidate, harass, or otherwise disrupt one or more people in the
+community, which LF Projects will not tolerate.
+
+A **Code of Conduct (“Code”)** is useful to define accepted and acceptable
+behaviors and to promote high standards of professional practice. It also
+provides a benchmark for self-evaluation and acts as a vehicle for better
+identity of the organization.
+
+LF Projects is a Delaware series limited liability company.  Projects of LF
+Projects are formed as separate series of LF Projects (each, a “Series”).
+References to “Projects” within this Policy include the applicable Series for
+each Project.
+
+This Code applies to any participant of any Project – including without
+limitation developers, participants in meetings, teleconferences, mailing lists,
+conferences or functions, and contributors. Note that this Code complements
+rather than replaces legal rights and obligations pertaining to any particular
+situation.  In addition, with the approval of LF Projects, Projects are free to
+adopt their own code of conduct in place of the Code.
+
+## Statement of Intent
+
+LF Projects is committed to maintain a positive, professional work environment.
+This commitment calls for workplaces where participants at all levels behave
+according to the rules of the following code. A foundational concept of this
+code is that we all share responsibility for our work environment.
+
+## Code
+
+1. Treat each other with respect, professionalism, fairness, and sensitivity to
+our many differences and strengths, including in situations of high pressure and
+urgency.
+2. Never harass or bully anyone verbally, physically, sexually,
+or in digital or written form.
+3. Never discriminate on the basis of personal characteristics or group
+membership.
+4. Communicate constructively and avoid demeaning or insulting behavior or
+language.
+5. Seek, accept, and offer objective work criticism, and acknowledge properly
+the contributions of others.
+6. Be honest about your own qualifications, and about any circumstances that
+might lead to conflicts of interest.
+7. Respect the privacy of others and the confidentiality of data you access.
+8. With respect to cultural differences, be conservative in what you do and
+liberal in what you accept from others, but not to the point of accepting
+disrespectful, unprofessional or unfair or unwelcome behavior or advances.
+9. Promote the rules of this Code and take action (especially if you are in a
+leadership position) to bring the discussion back to a more civil level whenever
+inappropriate behaviors are observed.
+10. Stay on topic: Make sure that you are posting to the correct channel and
+avoid off-topic discussions. Remember when you update an issue or respond to an
+email you are potentially sending to a large number of people.
+11. Step down considerately: participants in every project come and go, and LF
+Projects is no different. When you leave or disengage from the project, in whole
+or in part, we ask that you do so in a way that minimizes disruption to the
+project. This means you should tell people you are leaving and take the proper
+steps to ensure that others can pick up where you left off.
