 ## Our Pledge
 
-We as members, contributors, and leaders pledge to make participation in our community a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body size,
-visible or invisible disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender identity and expression, level of experience, education, socio-economic status,
-nationality, personal appearance, race, caste, color, religion, or sexual identity and orientation.
+We pledge to make our community welcoming, safe, and equitable for all.
 
-We pledge to act and interact in ways that contribute to an open, welcoming, diverse, inclusive, and healthy community.
+We are committed to fostering an environment that respects and promotes the dignity, rights, and contributions of all individuals, regardless of characteristics including race, ethnicity, caste, color, age, physical characteristics, neurodiversity, disability, sex or gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, language, philosophy or religion, national or social origin, socio-economic position, level of education, or other status.

-* Giving and gracefully accepting constructive feedback
-* Accepting responsibility and apologizing to those affected by our mistakes, and learning from the experience
-* Focusing on what is best not just for us as individuals, but for the overall community
+While acknowledging differences in social norms, we all strive to meet our community's expectations for positive behavior. We also understand that our words and actions may be interpreted differently than we intend based on culture, background, or native language.
 
-Examples of unacceptable behavior include:
+With these considerations in mind, we agree to behave mindfully toward each other and act in ways that center our shared values, including:

+## Restricted Behaviors
 
-Community leaders have the right and responsibility to remove, edit, or reject comments, commits, code, wiki edits, issues, and other contributions that are not

+4. **Irresponsible communication.** Failing to responsibly present content which includes, links or describes any other restricted behaviors.
 
-All community leaders are obligated to respect the privacy and security of the reporter of any incident.
 
-## Enforcement Guidelines
+## Reporting an Issue
 
-Community leaders will follow these Community Impact Guidelines in determining the consequences for any action they deem in violation of this Code of Conduct:
+Tensions can occur between community members even when they are trying their best to collaborate. Not every conflict represents a code of conduct violation, and this Code of Conduct reinforces encouraged behaviors and norms that can help avoid conflicts and minimize harm.
 
-### 1. Correction
+When an incident does occur, it is important to report it promptly. To report a possible violation, **[NOTE: describe your means of reporting here.]**
 
-**Community Impact**: Use of inappropriate language or other behavior deemed unprofessional or unwelcome in the community.
+Community Moderators take reports of violations seriously and will make every effort to respond in a timely manner. They will investigate all reports of code of conduct violations, reviewing messages, logs, and recordings, or interviewing witnesses and other participants. Community Moderators will keep investigation and enforcement actions as transparent as possible while prioritizing safety and confidentiality. In order to honor these values, enforcement actions are carried out in private with the involved parties, but communicating to the whole community may be part of a mutually agreed upon resolution.
 
-**Consequence**: A private, written warning from community leaders, providing clarity around the nature of the violation and an explanation of why the behavior
-was inappropriate. A public apology may be requested.
 
-### 2. Warning
+## Addressing and Repairing Harm
 
-**Community Impact**: A violation through a single incident or series of actions.
+**[NOTE: The remedies and repairs outlined below are suggestions based on best practices in code of conduct enforcement. If your community has its own established enforcement process, be sure to edit this section to describe your own policies.]**
 
-**Consequence**: A warning with consequences for continued behavior. No interaction with the people involved, including unsolicited interaction with those
-enforcing the Code of Conduct, for a specified period of time. This includes avoiding interactions in community spaces as well as external channels like social
-media. Violating these terms may lead to a temporary or permanent ban.
+If an investigation by the Community Moderators finds that this Code of Conduct has been violated, the following enforcement ladder may be used to determine how best to repair harm, based on the incident's impact on the individuals involved and the community as a whole. Depending on the severity of a violation, lower rungs on the ladder may be skipped.
 
-### 3. Temporary Ban
+1) Warning
+   1) Event: A violation involving a single incident or series of incidents.
+   2) Consequence: A private, written warning from the Community Moderators.
+   3) Repair: Examples of repair include a private written apology, acknowledgement of responsibility, and seeking clarification on expectations.
+2) Temporarily Limited Activities
+   1) Event: A repeated incidence of a violation that previously resulted in a warning, or the first incidence of a more serious violation.
+   2) Consequence: A private, written warning with a time-limited cooldown period designed to underscore the seriousness of the situation and give the community members involved time to process the incident. The cooldown period may be limited to particular communication channels or interactions with particular community members.
+   3) Repair: Examples of repair may include making an apology, using the cooldown period to reflect on actions and impact, and being thoughtful about re-entering community spaces after the period is over.
+3) Temporary Suspension
+   1) Event: A pattern of repeated violation which the Community Moderators have tried to address with warnings, or a single serious violation.
+   2) Consequence: A private written warning with conditions for return from suspension. In general, temporary suspensions give the person being suspended time to reflect upon their behavior and possible corrective actions.
+   3) Repair: Examples of repair include respecting the spirit of the suspension, meeting the specified conditions for return, and being thoughtful about how to reintegrate with the community when the suspension is lifted.
+4) Permanent Ban
+   1) Event: A pattern of repeated code of conduct violations that other steps on the ladder have failed to resolve, or a violation so serious that the Community Moderators determine there is no way to keep the community safe with this person as a member.
+   2) Consequence: Access to all community spaces, tools, and communication channels is removed. In general, permanent bans should be rarely used, should have strong reasoning behind them, and should only be resorted to if working through other remedies has failed to change the behavior.
+   3) Repair: There is no possible repair in cases of this severity.
 
-**Community Impact**: A serious violation of community standards, including sustained inappropriate behavior.
+This enforcement ladder is intended as a guideline. It does not limit the ability of Community Managers to use their discretion and judgment, in keeping with the best interests of our community.
 
-**Consequence**: A temporary ban from any sort of interaction or public communication with the community for a specified period of time. No public or private
-interaction with the people involved, including unsolicited interaction with those enforcing the Code of Conduct, is allowed during this period. Violating these
-terms may lead to a permanent ban.
 
-### 4. Permanent Ban
+## Scope
 
-**Community Impact**: Demonstrating a pattern of violation of community standards, including sustained inappropriate behavior,  harassment of an individual, or
-aggression toward or disparagement of classes of individuals.
+This Code of Conduct applies within all community spaces, and also applies when an individual is officially representing the community in public or other spaces. Examples of representing our community include using an official email address, posting via an official social media account, or acting as an appointed representative at an online or offline event.
 
-**Consequence**: A permanent ban from any sort of public interaction within the community.
