Last year, the FOLIO community endorsed the Code of Conduct (CoC).  To refresh everyone’s memory, below are the first two paragraphs of the Code:
FOLIO is developed and used by people from all over the world who have a broad set of skills, personalities, and experiences.  We represent libraries, service providers and independent contributors, and our diversity of perspectives is essential to our prosperity as a project.  We are committed to ensuring that the FOLIO community is a safe, enjoyable and thriving environment for everyone.
The purpose of a Code of Conduct is to protect members of a community from harm in that community’s spaces.  As a community, we expect participants to act according to the following ground rules so that people with different perspectives and communication styles can work together on the FOLIO project effectively, productively, and respectfully—even in the face of disagreements. Ground rules ensure that everyone within the community is clear about the behavior that is expected of them and that newcomers know what kind of environment they can expect to find.

To complete the process of putting the CoC in place, the code of conduct working group is seeking volunteers to be the first group of community support volunteers (CSVs).  The CSVs respond to reports and act to protect community members from ongoing harm in the community.  CSV candidates are nominated from the community, and individuals are encouraged to self-nominate.  Following common practices, the code of conduct working group will publish the names of the nominees and ask for feedback/concerns from the community via email or anonymous web form.  The working group will then select the first group of CSVs, meet with them to transfer information about the process to that point, and disband.

Please nominate individuals to serve as FOLIO Code of Conduct Community Support Volunteers through this anonymous web form by May 21:  https://forms.gle/VLwmrq5NNwtKbbbM7
