another email in the advent of the creation of the D&I committee

we should formalize some committee bylaws. I can start that effort and
share a draft with the list. I worked extensively on the CouchDB bylaws
(along with Joan, and others) and that would be my starting point

cf. https://couchdb.apache.org/bylaws.html

I also suggest that develop our own code of conduct. one that adapts the
foundation-level CoC. I want people on our lists to be held to a higher
standard than they are on regular lists precisely because I want these
lists to be welcoming to the sorts of people who feel unwelcome on other
lists

I'll leave this thread a few days, and if there are no objections, I will
create JIRA tickets for these items and get to work on the bylaws aspect

I think I can probably manage to produce a draft set of bylaws for the
committee's approval on my own

the CoC, I expect, is going to be a collaborative effort. and I expect that
it's going to have to be something of a living document

thanks!
