“Several open-source communities face issues of inappropriate contributor behavior. • Government- and foundation-sponsored DPGs should be careful not to replicate this shortcoming. • A best practice to govern this market shortcoming is creating a code of conduct for contributors. • Having a code of conduct is a best practice that has long been deployed in the com- mercial sector. • A code of conduct in government- or foundation-sponsored communities may serve several functions (e.g., connecting vision, mission, and values to contributors and making expected behavior explicit). • A code of conduct should be enforceable to manage potential tensions in the community” [1]
