NOTE: If anyone wants to be added to this list just let me know.
Ok so this seems to be most of the people who publicly stated they had interest in developing the "United Federation of Instances". All of you should have gotten the first draft and opinions were heard and discussed.
Today I will be moving the first draft over to git (either git.qoto.org or gitlab.com). From there I will encourage each of you to provide suggestions as to edits there, and raise discussions in issues. This way we will be public and have an open transparent forum that keeps the changes on record.
While public feedback is being debated on the proposal I will begin a rough draft on the complete by laws (which will try to represent the broader points in the proposal document). That too will be on gitlab and open to discussion
From there as the movement grows we can begin discussing launching it.
I suggest all communication on the fediverse about this use the #UFI hashtag so it is easily searchable.
Since this is a public post I will now share the link to the early draft here, please keep in mind everything here is open for discussion so if anyone doesnt like the current direction, please speak up, we want you to be heard.

@freemo i don't have post size to include mentions. I realize I may have controversial opinions, but will try to elaborate.
CoC: I have always found this a dubious beast. Somehow it feels like the right idea expressed badly. So my 2 cents:
1) why not mention humane treatment (UDHR) and emphasize that freedom of expression+opinion does not mean you are allowed to be infinitely cruel in doing so.
2) is tricky, because every situation is context-dependent. Instead of "hunting down" [..]
I think these suggestions will best be served when we get the gitlab up, which im doing now. There you can suggest specific edits and we can all debate it.
My concern is that whatever rules we pick need to be concrete, and objective such that they can be proven or disproven via evidence... granted there will always be some level of subjectvitiy, but I'd like that to be clear if possible.
