Writing here as I am a newbie in CoC writing, so my comments may be
naive, and English is not my primary language. So I dont feel confident
making the changes directly in the document.


In the beginning listing 
"... moderators, organisers, and volunteers." is there a reason it
doesnt end in an "open ended": moderators, organisers, volunteers, and
others.


In the principles section I would like to have "patient" added somehow.
We often have a situation with newcomers not having the same experience
and 

So I suggest changing "Be welcoming" to "Be welcoming and patient"

Be welcoming. We strive to be a community that welcomes and supports
people of all backgrounds and identities. This includes, but is not
limited to, members of any race, ethnicity, culture, national origin,
color, immigration status, social and economic class, educational
level, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, age,
size, family status, religion, and mental and physical ability.


Mvh/Best regards
