Brian,
That simple text is perfect, however the text that follows is mainly
about being politely because we are from different backgrounds and
speak different languages. My personal opinion is that we need to have
more strong text about harassment.
"IETF participants come from diverse origins and backgrounds; there
can be different expectations or assumptions. Regardless of these
individual differences, participants treat their colleagues with
respect as persons especially when it is difficult to agree with
them; treat other participants as you would like to be treated.
English is the de facto language of the IETF. However, it is not
the native language of many IETF participants. All participants,
particularly those with English as a first language, attempt to
accommodate the needs of other participants by communicating
clearly. When faced with English that is difficult to understand
IETF participants make a sincere effort to understand each other
and engage in conversation to clarify what was meant.
"
Regards,
as
