## Overview

The purpose of the ENS' Code of Conduct is to create a robust working culture that encourages high standards for inclusivity, representation and respect. This is a high impact document that serves as one of the DAO's foundations for a thriving and globally focused ecosystem.

> "The ENS DAO should consider adopting a code of conduct that spans the entire protocol - across users, moderators, delegates, contributors, stewards, and ideally TNL."

## ENS Code of Conduct: Summary of Work

On February 6, 2022, [ Marcus Martínez (@estmcmxci) propsed to draft the ENS DAO's CoC](https://discuss.ens.domains/t/community-working-group-intent-draft/10221/7?u=estmcmxci), with help from Stewards @spencecoin & @coltron. As of the time of this writing, the CoC Draft has not yet been passed but has gained momentum throughout the greater ENS Community, with over 500 views on the ENS forum.

>“We welcome new community members to review the ENS DAO’s Value Board, which explicitly states our values promote a healthy ENS DAO and ENS Community.”

On March 25th, Q1/Q2 Steward @spencecoin posted a Temp Check on the ENS Forum indicating our intention to pursue a Draft Proposal. The post is a continuation of the discussion that started on March 17th, 2022.

On April 11th, Community WG Steward @spencecoin signaled that CoC is ready for a final draft before moving to a formal Social Proposal.

On May 11th, Community Stewards and MG Steward @Simonapop met via Google Meet to discuss next steps. It had been decided that the The Code of Conduct (CoC) would now be under the purview of the Meta-Governance Working Group.

On May 17th, MG Steward Simona discussed with the CoC's Lead Coordinator (@estmcmxci) to finalize the draft. Discussion has continued since with the other Community Stewards on what to detail in the CoC.
