I just realized that this statement was a bit ambiguous; in the first
CoC, I meant the "Code of Conduct Committee".  In the second CoC in
this sentence, I made the "Code of Conduct".

From the context of what you wrote, I *think* you were consistently
referring to the Code of Conduct Committee, but when I see CoC I tend
think the actual "Code of Conduct" and not the committee which
enforces the CoC.

Apologies for any confusion,
