With that said, a healthy community must allow for disagreement and debate.
The Code of Conduct is not a mechanism for people to silence others with whom
they disagree.
</p>
<h3 id="spaces">Where does the Code of Conduct apply?</h3>
<p>
If you participate in or contribute to the Go ecosystem in any way,
you are encouraged to follow the Code of Conduct while doing so.
</p>
<p>
Explicit enforcement of the Code of Conduct applies to the
official forums operated by the Go project (“Go spaces”):
</p>
<ul>
<li>The official <a href="https://github.com/golang/">GitHub projects</a>
and <a href="https://go-review.googlesource.com/">code reviews</a>.
<li>The <a href="https://groups.google.com/group/golang-nuts">golang-nuts</a> and
<a href="https://groups.google.com/group/golang-dev">golang-dev</a> mailing lists.
<li>The #go-nuts IRC channel on Freenode.
</ul>
<p>
Other Go groups (such as conferences, meetups, and other unofficial forums) are
encouraged to adopt this Code of Conduct. Those groups must provide their own
moderators and/or working group (see below).
We believe that healthy debate and disagreement are essential to a healthy project and community.
However, it is never ok to be disrespectful.
We value diverse opinions, but we value respectful behavior more.

<h2 id="unwelcome_behavior">Unwelcome behavior</h2>
<p>
These actions are explicitly forbidden in Go spaces:
</p>
<ul>
<li>Insulting, demeaning, hateful, or threatening remarks.
<li>Discrimination based on age, disability, gender, nationality, race,
religion, sexuality, or similar personal characteristic.
<li>Bullying or systematic harassment.
<li>Unwelcome sexual advances.
<li>Incitement to any of these.
</ul>
<h2 id="moderation">Moderation</h2>
<p>
The Go spaces are not free speech venues; they are for discussion about Go.
Each of these spaces have their own moderators.
</p>
<p>
When using the official Go spaces you should act in the spirit of the “Gopher
values”.
If a reported conflict cannot be resolved amicably, the CoC Working Group
may make a recommendation to the relevant forum moderators.
</p>
<h2 id="code">Code of Conduct</h2>
<p>
CoC Working Group members and forum moderators are held to a higher standard than other community members.
If a working group member or moderator creates an inappropriate situation, they
should expect less leeway than others, and should expect to be removed from
their position if they cannot adhere to the CoC.
</p>
<h3 id="our-pledge">Our Pledge</h3>
<p>
Complaints about working group member or moderator actions must be handled
using the reporting process below.
</p>
<p>In the interest of fostering an open and welcoming environment, we as
contributors and maintainers pledge to making participation in our project and
our community a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body
size, disability, ethnicity, gender identity and expression, level of
experience, education, socio-economic status, nationality, personal appearance,
race, religion, or sexual identity and orientation.</p>
<h2 id="reporting">Reporting issues</h2>
<h3 id="our-standards">Our Standards</h3>
<p>
The Code of Conduct Working Group is a group of people that represent the Go
community. They are responsible for handling conduct-related issues.
Their purpose is to de-escalate conflicts and try to resolve issues to the
satisfaction of all parties. They are:
</p>
<p>Examples of behavior that contributes to creating a positive environment
include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Aditya Mukerjee &lt;dev@chimeracoder.net&gt;
<li>Andrew Gerrand &lt;adg@golang.org&gt;
<li>Peggy Li &lt;peggyli.224@gmail.com&gt;
<li>Steve Francia &lt;steve.francia@gmail.com&gt;
<li>Verónica López &lt;gveronicalg@gmail.com&gt;
<li>Using welcoming and inclusive language</li>
<li>Being respectful of differing viewpoints and experiences</li>
<li>Gracefully accepting constructive criticism</li>
<li>Focusing on what is best for the community</li>
<li>Showing empathy towards other community members</li>
</ul>
<p>
If you encounter a conduct-related issue, you should report it to the
Working Group using the process described below.
<b>Do not</b> post about the issue publicly or try to rally sentiment against a
particular individual or group.
</p>
<p>Examples of unacceptable behavior by participants include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Mail <a href="mailto:conduct@golang.org">conduct@golang.org</a>.
<ul>
<li>Your message will reach the Working Group.
<li>Reports are confidential within the Working Group.
<li>You may contact a member of the group directly if you do not feel
comfortable contacting the group as a whole. That member will then raise
the issue with the Working Group as a whole, preserving the privacy of the
reporter (if desired).
<li>If your report concerns a member of the Working Group they will be recused
from Working Group discussions of the report.
<li>The Working Group will strive to handle reports with discretion and
sensitivity, to protect the privacy of the involved parties,
and to avoid conflicts of interest.
</ul>
<li>You should receive a response within 48 hours (likely sooner).
(Should you choose to contact a single Working Group member,
it may take longer to receive a response.)
<li>The Working Group will meet to review the incident and determine what happened.
<ul>
<li>With the permission of person reporting the incident, the Working Group
may reach out to other community members for more context.
</ul>
<li>The Working Group will reach a decision as to how to act. These may include:
<ul>
<li>Nothing.
<li>Passing the report along to the offender.
<li>A recommendation of action to the relevant forum moderators.
</ul>
<li>The Working Group will reach out to the original reporter to let them know
the decision.
<li>Appeals to the decision may be made to the Working Group,
or to any of its members directly.
<li>The use of sexualized language or imagery and unwelcome sexual attention or
advances</li>
<li>Trolling, insulting/derogatory comments, and personal or political attacks</li>
<li>Public or private harassment</li>
<li>Publishing others&rsquo; private information, such as a physical or electronic
address, without explicit permission</li>
<li>Other conduct which could reasonably be considered inappropriate in a
professional setting</li>
</ul>
<p>
<b>Note that the goal of the Code of Conduct and the Working Group is to resolve
conflicts in the most harmonious way possible.</b>
We hope that in most cases issues may be resolved through polite discussion and
mutual agreement.

<h3 id="our-responsibilities">Our Responsibilities</h3>
<p>Project maintainers are responsible for clarifying the standards of acceptable
behavior and are expected to take appropriate and fair corrective action in
response to any instances of unacceptable behavior.</p>
<p>Project maintainers have the right and responsibility to remove, edit, or reject
comments, commits, code, wiki edits, issues, and other contributions that are
not aligned to this Code of Conduct, or to ban temporarily or permanently any
contributor for other behaviors that they deem inappropriate, threatening,
offensive, or harmful.</p>
<h3 id="scope">Scope</h3>
<p>This Code of Conduct applies both within project spaces and in public spaces
when an individual is representing the project or its community. Examples of
representing a project or community include using an official project e-mail
address, posting via an official social media account, or acting as an appointed
representative at an online or offline event. Representation of a project may be
further defined and clarified by project maintainers.</p>
<p>This Code of Conduct also applies outside the project spaces when the Project
Steward has a reasonable belief that an individual&rsquo;s behavior may have a
negative impact on the project or its community.</p>
<h3 id="conflict-resolution"></a>Conflict Resolution</h3>
<p>We do not believe that all conflict is bad; healthy debate and disagreement
often yield positive results. However, it is never okay to be disrespectful or
to engage in behavior that violates the project’s code of conduct.</p>
<p>If you see someone violating the code of conduct, you are encouraged to address
the behavior directly with those involved. Many issues can be resolved quickly
and easily, and this gives people more control over the outcome of their
dispute. If you are unable to resolve the matter for any reason, or if the
behavior is threatening or harassing, report it. We are dedicated to providing
an environment where participants feel welcome and safe.</p>
<p id="reporting">Reports should be directed to Cassandra Salisbury, the
Go Project Steward, at <i>conduct@golang.org</i>.
It is the Project Steward’s duty to
receive and address reported violations of the code of conduct. They will then
work with a committee consisting of representatives from the Open Source
Programs Office and the Google Open Source Strategy team. If for any reason you
are uncomfortable reaching out the Project Steward, please email
the Google Open Source Programs Office at <i>opensource@google.com</i>.</p>
<p>We will investigate every complaint, but you may not receive a direct response.
We will use our discretion in determining when and how to follow up on reported
incidents, which may range from not taking action to permanent expulsion from
the project and project-sponsored spaces. We will notify the accused of the
report and provide them an opportunity to discuss it before any action is taken.
The identity of the reporter will be omitted from the details of the report
supplied to the accused. In potentially harmful situations, such as ongoing
harassment or threats to anyone&rsquo;s safety, we may take action without notice.</p>
