[CREATE] Last round of comments: LGM Code of Conduct

[Susan Spencer]

This Code of Conduct reads very well.
It is relatively short given the amount of subject matter that it covers.
Plus:
1.  It doesn't unduly rely on outside definitions (only one outside link)
2.  It doesn't utilize multiple documents to state the policy of behavioral
expectation and the method to implement it
