I’m also for adding the Vision / Mission support and for strengthening the wording on the CoC, though I find “respect and abide by” a bit too much. I thought Boudhayan was just suggesting to use either of those.

So maybe “abide by”, as that already for me kinda implies “respect” (we’re not exactly the kind of people who abide by rules they don’t even respect).
