I will behave responsibly and respectfully towards all members of this Community, respecting their values and viewpoints as well as their rights and feelings.
I will work with other community members to ensure that it remains welcoming to new participants and ideas, and embraces diversity.

I will work with my fellow members to deliberate and make equitable decisions. I will do my best to see that every decision making process includes reasonable representation of those who are directly affected by its outcome.
Acknowledging that differences of opinion and conflict will undoubtedly occur, I agree to resolve conflict constructively.

I understand that every member of this community is entering into this same agreement and that we all have a stake in seeing that it is observed and enforced. My behavior towards other members of this community will reflect that I am abiding by this agreement.
I acknowledge that if a duly authorized body of my peers concludes that I have repeatedly and willfully violated this agreement, my rights to participate in this community can be suspended or terminated.

That said (#3) - I do have a problem with the way "Peer Review" in our industry is conducted, as in the last portion, it may be a one sided opportunity for any of our "Peers" to create conflict where perhaps none exists.
