This is total garbage and will be abused. The terms used are
undefinable and the term harrassment is particularly impossible to
define and will be abused.
This will just be a tool for supress speech and kill decent
INTRODUCTION
The Free Software Foundation (“FSF”) is a nonprofit with a worldwide
mission to promote computer user freedom.
A Voting Member's duties are primarily to elect FSF Board Members and
the Voting Members themselves. Voting Members must be firm and
unwavering supporters of software freedom.
A Voting Member agrees to uphold the following Code of Ethics.
CODE OF ETHICS
A Voting Member must act in good faith in accord with the
regulations of the Free Software Foundation, including its articles of
incorporation and its bylaws.
A Voting Member will not engage in or facilitate any harassing
behavior directed toward FSF staff, members, officers, directors,
suppliers, or contractors, nor towards anyone in activities relating to
the organization. A Voting Member will not engage in or facilitate
unfair discrimination in activities relating to the organization. The
Voting Members will interpret these criteria in a reasonable fashion.
A Voting Member will uphold the privacy and confidentiality of
internal proceedings. Furthermore, Voting Members must take care to keep
certain information relating to director candidates and Voting Member
candidates confidential, including but not limited to:
All conversations among the Voting Members and candidates.
Information about candidates received only through private
channels of communication, including discussions of candidates by the
associate members.
The implications or consequences of such conversations and
information.
Whether someone is being considered as a director candidate,
unless/until the FSF has announced this.
A Voting Member must not make use of confidential information for
private or outside purposes, only for the purposes of the voting
members' decisions.
A Voting Member will not make use (beyond incidental use) of staff,
services, property, or access provided by the organization, or acquired
as a consequence of the Voting Member's service, in any manner other
than in furtherance of the organization's activities, and especially not
for personal gain.
A Voting Member must not comment publicly in ways that could reflect
on the suitability of any director or Voting Member candidate while that
candidate is being considered, nor subsequently about what made that
candidate suitable or unsuitable, even after the decision on that
candidate has been made.
A Voting Member acknowledges that some statements and actions have
potential to reflect on the organization and will take seriously the
position of public visibility and trust of a Voting Member.
A Voting Member, as such, does not speak for the FSF and will make
it clear, when there may be ambiguity, that one is not doing so.
A Voting Member will not urge or try to convince anyone to refrain
from providing cooperation, paid or unpaid labor, services or support to
the FSF, or engage in an activity that substantially harms the FSF.
A Voting Member must not accept any sort of gift as an inducement
for acting in a particular way as a Voting Member.
As an FSF Voting Member, I affirm my endorsement of this Code of Ethics
and acknowledge my commitment to upholding its principles and obligations.
