The Goal of the CEPC sets a rather low bar #250

Description

The introduction says

"The goal of this code of conduct is to ensure that W3C is an environment where everyone can participate without fear of harassment."

Harassment
Any conduct, verbal or physical, that has the intent or effect of interfering with an individual, or that creates an intimidating, hostile, or offensive environment.

I am concerned that this expresses the goal in the negative ("avoid harassment") and sets a very low bar. I would prefer that we set the goal that we (positively) treat people with respect, and treat everyone equitably. I don't think a response from a culprit "well, I didn't actually harass anyone" should be even close to being a defense.

Something like:

"The goal of this code of conduct is to ensure that W3C is an environment where everyone who participates is treated equitably and with respect, including being to participate without fear of harassment."
