+# Kea/ISC Code of Conduct
+
+Like the technical community as a whole, the Kea team and community is made
+up of a mixture of professionals and volunteers from all over the world, working
+on every aspect of the mission - including mentorship, teaching, and connecting
+people.
+
+Diversity is one of our huge strengths, but it can also lead to communication
+issues and unhappiness. To that end, we have a few ground rules that we ask
+people to adhere to. This code applies equally to the core development team, open source contributors and those
+seeking help and guidance.
+
+This isn't an exhaustive list of things that you can't do. Rather, take it in
+the spirit in which it's intended - a guide to make it easier to enrich all of
+us and the technical communities in which we participate.
+
+This code of conduct applies to all spaces managed by the Kea project or
+Internet Systems Consortium. This includes chat, the mailing lists, the issue
+tracker, and any other fora created by the project team which the
+community uses for communication. In addition, violations of this code outside
+these spaces may affect a person's ability to participate within them.
+
+If you believe someone is violating the code of conduct, we ask that you report
+it by emailing [conduct@isc.org](conduct@isc.org). For more details please see
+our [Reporting Guidelines](https://www.isc.org/conductreporting/).
+
+* **Be friendly and patient.**
+* **Be welcoming.** We strive to be a community that welcomes and supports
+  people of all backgrounds and identities. This includes, but is not limited to
+  members of any race, ethnicity, culture, national origin, colour, immigration
+  status, social and economic class, educational level, sex, sexual orientation,
+  gender identity and expression, age, size, family status, political belief,
+  religion, and mental and physical ability.
+* **Be considerate.** Your work will be used by other people, and you in turn
+  will depend on the work of others. Any decision you take will affect users and
+  colleagues, and you should take those consequences into account when making
+  decisions. Remember that we're a world-wide community, so you might not be
+  communicating in someone else's primary language.
+* **Be respectful.** Not all of us will agree all the time, but disagreement is
+  no excuse for poor behavior and poor manners. We might all experience some
+  frustration now and then, but we cannot allow that frustration to turn into a
+  personal attack. It's important to remember that a community where people feel
+  uncomfortable or threatened is not a productive one. Members of the Kea
+  community should be respectful when dealing with other members as well as with
+  people outside the Kea community.
+* **Be careful in the words that you choose.** We are a community of
+  professionals, and we conduct ourselves professionally. Be kind to others. Do
+  not insult or put down other participants. Harassment and other exclusionary
+  behavior aren't acceptable. This includes, but is not limited to:
+  * Violent threats or language directed against another person.
+  * Discriminatory jokes and language.
+  * Posting sexually explicit or violent material.
+  * Posting (or threatening to post) other people's personally identifying
+    information ("doxing").
+  * Personal insults, especially those using racist or sexist terms.
+  * Unwelcome sexual attention.
+  * Advocating for, or encouraging, any of the above behavior.
+  * Repeated harassment of others. In general, if someone asks you to stop, then
+    stop.
+* **When we disagree, try to understand why.** Disagreements, both social and
+  technical, happen all the time and Kea is no exception. It is important
+  that we resolve disagreements and differing views constructively. Remember
+  that we're different. The strength of Kea comes from its varied community,
+  people from a wide range of backgrounds. Different people have different
+  perspectives on issues. Being unable to understand why someone holds a
+  viewpoint doesn't mean that they're wrong. Don't forget that it is human to
+  err and blaming each other doesn't get us anywhere. Instead, focus on helping
+  to resolve issues and learning from mistakes.
