| 6 | +our software, system or hardware project and community a safe, productive, welcoming and inclusive experience for everyone. |

| 35 | + |
| 36 | +## Scope |
| 37 | +This Code of Conduct applies to all spaces managed by the Project whether they be physical, online or face-to-face. |
| 38 | +This includes project code, code repository, associated web pages, documentation, mailing lists, project websites and wiki pages, |
| 39 | +issue tracker, meetings, telecons, events, project social media accounts, and any other forums created by the project team which the |
| 40 | +community uses for communication. |
| 41 | +In addition, violations of this Code of Conduct outside these spaces may affect a person's ability to participate within them. |
| 42 | +Representation of a project may be further defined and clarified by project maintainers. |
| 43 | + |
| 44 | +## Community Responsibilities |
| 45 | +Everyone in the community is empowered to respond to people who are showing unacceptable behavior. |
| 46 | +They can talk to them privately or publicly. |
| 47 | +Anyone requested to stop unacceptable behavior is expected to comply immediately. |
| 48 | +If the behavior continues concerns may be brought to the project administrators or to any other party listed in the |
| 49 | +[Reporting](#reporting) section below. |
| 50 | + |
| 51 | +## Project Administrator Responsibilities |
| 52 | +Project administrators are responsible for clarifying the standards of acceptable behavior and are encouraged to model appropriate |
| 53 | +behavior and provide support when people in the community point out inappropriate behavior. |
| 54 | +Project administrator(s) are normally the ones that would be tasked to carry out the actions in the [Consequences](#consequences) |
| 55 | +section below. |
| 56 | + |
| 57 | +Project administrators are also expected to keep this Code of Conduct updated with the main one housed at UCAR, as listed below in |
| 58 | +the [Attribution](#attribution) section. |
| 59 | + |
| 60 | +## Reporting |
| 61 | +Instances of unacceptable behavior can be brought to the attention of the project administrator(s) who may take any action as |
| 62 | +outlined in the [Consequences](#consequences) section below. |
| 63 | +However, making a report to a project administrator is not considered an 'official report' to UCAR. |
| 64 | + |
| 65 | +Instances of unacceptable behavior may also be reported directly to UCAR pursuant to [UCAR's Harassment Reporting and Complaint |
| 66 | +Procedure](https://www2.fin.ucar.edu/procedures/hr/harassment-reporting-and-complaint-procedure), or anonymously through [UCAR's |
| 67 | +EthicsPoint Hotline](https://www2.fin.ucar.edu/ethics/anonymous-reporting). |
| 68 | + |
| 69 | +Complaints received by UCAR will be handled pursuant to the procedures outlined in UCAR's Harassment Reporting and Complaint |
| 70 | +Procedure. |
| 71 | +Complaints to UCAR will be held as confidential as practicable under the circumstances, and retaliation against a person who |
| 72 | +initiates a complaint or an inquiry about inappropriate behavior will not be tolerated. |
| 73 | + |
| 74 | +Any Contributor can use these reporting methods even if they are not directly affiliated with UCAR. |
| 75 | +The Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) page for reporting is [here](https://www2.fin.ucar.edu/procedures/hr/reporting-faqs). |
| 76 | + |
| 77 | +## Consequences |
| 78 | +Upon receipt of a complaint, the project administrator(s) may take any action deemed necessary and appropriate under the |
| 79 | +circumstances. |
| 80 | +Such action can include things such as: removing, editing, or rejecting comments, commits, code, wiki edits, email, issues, and |
| 81 | +other contributions that are not aligned to this Code of Conduct, or banning temporarily or permanently any contributor for other |
| 82 | +behaviors that are deemed inappropriate, threatening, offensive, or harmful. |
| 83 | +Project administrators also have the right to report violations to UCAR HR and/or UCAR's Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion |
| 84 | +(ODEI), as well as a participant's home institution and/or law enforcement. |
| 85 | +In the event an incident is reported to UCAR, UCAR will follow its Harassment Reporting and Complaint Procedure. |
| 86 | + |
| 87 | +## Process for Changes |
| 88 | +All UCAR managed projects are required to adopt this Contributor Code of Conduct. |
| 89 | +Adoption is assumed even if not expressly stated in the repository. |
| 90 | +Projects should fill in sections where prompted with project-specific information, including, project name and adoption date. |
| 91 | + |
| 92 | +Projects that adopt this Code of Conduct need to stay up to date with UCAR's Contributor Code of Conduct, linked with a DOI in the |
| 93 | +[Attribution](#attribution) section below. |
| 94 | +Projects can make limited substantive changes to the Code of Conduct, however, the changes must be limited in scope and may not |
| 95 | +contradict the UCAR Contributor Code of Conduct. |
| 96 | + |
| 97 | +## Attribution |
| 98 | +This Code of Conduct was originally adapted from the [Contributor Covenant](http://contributor-covenant.org/version/1/4), version |
| 99 | +1.4. |
| 100 | +We then aligned it with the UCAR Participant Code of Conduct, which also borrows from the American Geophysical Union (AGU) Code of |
| 101 | +Conduct. |
| 102 | +The UCAR Participant Code of Conduct applies to both UCAR employees as well as participants in activities run by UCAR. |
| 103 | +The original version of this for all software projects that have strong management from UCAR or UCAR staff is available on the UCAR |
| 104 | +website at https://doi.org/10.5065/6w2c-a132. |
| 105 | +The date that it was adopted by this project was **Feb/13/2018**. |
| 106 | +When responding to complaints, UCAR HR and ODEI will do so based on the latest published version. |
| 107 | +Therefore, any project-specific changes should follow the [Process for Changes](#process-for-changes) section above. |
