I realize this was probably brought up in the discussions about the scipy code of conduct which I have not looked at, but I’m troubled by the inclusion of “political beliefs” in the document.

It was not brought up explicitly as far as I remember. 


See e.g. 

That's about moving names around. I don't see any mention of political beliefs?


As a thought experiment, what if someone’s political beliefs imply that other contributors are not deserving of human rights? Increasingly ideas like this are coming into the mainstream worldwide and I think this is a real concern that should be considered.

There is a difference between having beliefs, and expressing those beliefs in ways that offends others. I don't see any problem with saying that we welcome anyone, irrespective of political belief. However, if someone starts expressing things that are intolerant (like someone else not deserving human rights) on any of our communication forums or in an in-person meeting, that would be a clear violation of the CoC. Which can be dealt with via the reporting and enforcement mechanism in the CoC.

I don't see a problem here, but I would see a real problem with removing the "political beliefs" phrase.

Hi everyone,

A while ago, SciPy (the library) adopted its Code of Conduct:
https://docs.scipy.org/doc/scipy/reference/dev/conduct/code_of_conduct.html

We worked hard to make that document friendly, while at the same time
stating clearly the kinds of behavior that would and would not be
tolerated.

I propose that we adopt the SciPy code of conduct for NumPy as well.  It
is a good way to signal to newcomers that this is a community that cares
about how people are treated.  And I think we should do anything in our
power to make NumPy as attractive as possible!

If we adopt this document as policy, we will need to select a Code of
Conduct committee, to whom potential transgressions can be reported.
The individuals doing this for SciPy may very well be happy to do the
same for NumPy, but the community should decide whom will best serve
those roles.

Let me know your thoughts.

+1 from me.

Chuck
