Hi Pine, I don't think a global commitee would be the right place - stewards are currently filling this gap involuntarily, and it seems extremely difficult to judge situations on a local project properly (the Azerbaijani case might come to mind here).
For me the ideal version of a universal CoC would limit itself to a very basic foundation, which would then be adapted and developed on a regional and local level to better fit the needs of the various communities, as you mention above, including local laws that may prohibit certain behaviour (as is the case in Germany and Austria with any glorification of nationalsocialism for example). The global council would also arbitrate in certain conflicts that happen between regions or projects, but this is more of a theoretical experiment right now I think.
