[diversity] Updated Draft RIPE Code of Conduct Published for Community Review

Dear RIPE Community,

I'd like to thank everyone who has already commented on this draft update
to the Code of Conduct so far.

I have been keeping track of the comments so the TF has a good idea of what
changes we need to make to the draft. I've tabulated them below and it
would be good if people could let me know if I have misunderstood what they
meant. Also, some people have commented but not stated if they support the
daft as is, or would support the draft with a minor change. I've placed a
question mark next to names where I'm not sure what a person's position is.
It would be great if you could clarify your position.

Many thanks,

Leo Vegoda
On behalf of the RIPE Code of Conduct TF
