I dont see much point in this:
- There are few to no sanctions available to us for enforcement against offenders
- I havent see too much discussion or conflict about what is an offense -- so
  lets not bind ourselves to rules when we dont need any
- For nontrivial cases we already have such a code of conduct embedded in the
  statues of the TDF with its requirements for members and their conduct. And
  there we also have a valid sanction against serious offenders if needed.

Best,
