<h2>Preamble</h2>
1515

16-
<p>The Haskell Foundation has adopted the Standards of Public Behaviour set
17-
out below. Each representative of the Foundation commits themself to those
18-
standards when interacting with other representatves and the public on
19-
Haskell-related matters. We aspire to apply them in all our interactions in
20-
the Haskell sphere, including email, social media and discussion forums.</p>
21-
22-
<p> The standards apply to our behaviour; that is, what we do. They
23-
specifically do not, and should not, seek to constrain anyone's beliefs;
24-
that is, what they think.</p>
25-
26-
<p>If one of us fails to meet these standards, the ideal course of action is
27-
to write to that person privately, gently drawing attention to their lapse.
28-
If you are not comfortable with that, please contact the Chair of the
29-
Foundation, or (if the Chair is the problem) the Vice-Chair.</p>
30-
31-
<p>Our response should usually be to apologise and stop doing what it was
32-
that you are unhappy about. Even if we feel we have been misinterpreted or
33-
unfairly accused, the chances are good there was something we could have
34-
communicated better, and an apology is far more likely to bring healing than
35-
is a counter-accusation.</p>
36-
37-
<p>We do not seek to impose these standards on members of the Haskell
38-
community. Rather, adopting the standards is a signal that we seek high
39-
standards of discourse in the Haskell community, and are willing to publicly
40-
hold ourselves to that standard, in the hope that others may voluntarily
41-
follow suit.</p>
