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."

-@spencecoin (2022 Q1/Q2 Community WG Steward)

ENS Code of Conduct: Summary of Work

On February 6, 2022, Marcus Martínez (@estmcmxci) propsed to draft the ENS DAO's CoC, 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.”

-@estmcmxci (2022 Q1/Q2 Community WG Lead Contributor)

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.
