<p>Specifically, we aspire to these behaviours:</p>

<ul>
<li>We welcome as members of the Haskell community people of all backgrounds and identities. This includes, but is not limited to members of any race, ethnicity, culture, national origin, colour, immigration status, social and economic class, educational level, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, age, size, family status, political belief, religion, and mental and physical ability. </li>

I wonder, given the purpose of these guidelines, if the second sentence - seeking to elaborate what is meant by 'all backgrounds and identities' - is needed.

<li>We treat everyone with courtesy, aware that their diverse backgrounds, experiences, goals, and perspectives may be very different to ours.</li>
<li>In our communication, we consistently honour and affirm the passion, professional expertise, and good intentions of others. Even if we occasionally doubt these qualities in someone else, we will not make public accusations of incompetence, malice or ulterior motives.</li>
<li>We strive to be scrupulously polite at all times. There should be no rudeness, name-calling, or harassment in our communication.</li>
