+# Code of Conduct
+> This CoC is an adaptation of the [npm Code of Conduct].
+
+The Node.js Inclusivity Working Group exists to improve inclusivity
+and diversity in the Node.js project and surrounding community.
+
+We believe that our mission is best served in an environment that is
+friendly, safe, and accepting; free from intimidation or harassment.
+
+Towards this end, certain behaviors and practices will not be
+tolerated.
+
+## tl;dr
+
+* Be respectful.
+* Abusive behavior is never tolerated.
+* Violations of this code may result in swift and permanent expulsion
+  from the Node.js inclusivity working group and/or escalation to the
+  Node.js moderation group and TSC
+
+## Scope
+
+This policy covers behavior within the context of the Node.js
+Inclusivity Working Group. It is expected that all Working Group members,
+Node.js community members, and commenters participating in Inclusivity
+Working Group affairs abide by this Code of Conduct at all times in all
+public or private venues.
+
+The definitions of various subjective terms such as "discriminatory",
+"hateful", or "confusing" will be decided at the sole discretion of
+the Node.js Inclusivity Working Group team members.
+
+## Friendly Harassment-Free Space
+
+We are committed to providing a friendly, safe and welcoming
+environment for all, regardless of gender identity, sexual
+orientation, ability, ethnicity, religion, age, physical
+appearance, body size, race, or similar personal characteristics.
+
+Any spamming, trolling, flaming, baiting, or other attention-stealing
+behavior is not welcome, and will not be tolerated.
+
+Harassing other Working Group participants is never tolerated, whether
+via public or private media.
+
+Avoid using offensive or harassing names, nicknames, or other
+identifiers that might detract from a friendly, safe, and welcoming
+environment for all.
+
+Harassment includes, but is not limited to: harmful or prejudicial
+verbal or written comments related to gender identity, sexual
+orientation, ability, ethnicity, religion, age, physical
+appearance, body size, race, or similar personal characteristics;
+inappropriate use of nudity, sexual images, and/or sexually explicit
+language in public spaces; threats of physical or non-physical harm;
+deliberate intimidation, stalking or following; harassing photography
+or recording; sustained disruption of talks or other events;
+inappropriate physical contact; and unwelcome sexual attention.
+
+## Reporting Violations of this Code of Conduct
+
+If you believe someone is harassing you or has otherwise violated this
+Code of Conduct, please contact us at inclusitivy@nodejs.org to send
+us an abuse report.  If this is the initial report of a problem, please
+include as much detail as possible. The more context we have, the better
+we can assess and resolve the situation.
+
+## Consequences
+
+All participation in this Working Group is at the sole discretion of
+the Working Group members.
+
+Anyone asked to stop unacceptable behavior is expected to comply
+immediately.
+
+If a community member engages in unacceptable behavior, the Working
+Group members may take any action they deem appropriate, up to and
+including a temporary ban or permanent expulsion from the community
+without warning.
+
+## Addressing Grievances
+
+If you feel you have been falsely or unfairly accused of violating
+this Code of Conduct, you should notify the Working Group by emailing
+us at inclusivity@nodejs.org.  We will do our best to ensure that
+your grievance is handled appropriately.
+
+In general, we will choose the course of action that we judge as being
+most in the interest of fostering a safe and friendly community.
+
+## Contact Info
+
+Please contact inclusivity@nodejs.org if you need to report a problem or
+address a grievance related to an abuse report.
+
+You are also encouraged to contact us if you are unsure if something
+is appropriate or inappropriate.  We are happy to provide guidance
+to help you be a successful part of our community.
