+# Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct
+
+WebAssembly operates under the W3C's
+[Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct][]:
+
+> W3C is a growing and global community where participants choose to work
+> together, and in that process experience differences in language, location,
+> nationality, and experience. In such a diverse environment, misunderstandings
+> and disagreements happen, which in most cases can be resolved informally. In
+> rare cases, however, behavior can intimidate, harass, or otherwise disrupt one
+> or more people in the community, which W3C will not tolerate.
+>
+> A Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct is useful to define accepted and
+> acceptable behaviors and to promote high standards of professional
+> practice. It also provides a benchmark for self evaluation and acts as a
+> vehicle for better identity of the organization.
+
+We hope that our community group act according to these guidelines, and that
+participants hold each other to these high standards. If you have any questions
+or are worried that the code isn't being followed, please contact the Community
+Group's chairs at `team-webassembly-chairs@w3.org` (note: this list is also
+visible to W3C staff). For very serious concerns, the W3C has [procedures][]
+allowing you to access its ombuds directly and confidentially.
