# Codes of Conduct
Chromium contributors participate in many organizations that standardize Web
APIs. These organizations have rules that govern participants' behavior. We need
to follow these rules, and we can expect that others in these bodies will also
follow the rules.
This document links to each organization's code of conduct and any contact
information that organization provides for navigating difficulties. For
organizations without a code of conduct, we're happy to help them develop one.
If you notice someone breaking a venue's code of conduct, you have several options for handling the situation:
1. If you feel comfortable, call out the behavior in the discussion and give an
opportunity for it to be addressed. For example:
> "This comment is not constructive/does not help move us to consensus/makes
an incorrect assumption/is not actionable. Could you please re-state or
rephrase your comments accordingly?"
1. If you do not feel comfortable raising the concern directly, or the behavior
is not fixed or acknowledged, disengage with the discussion and escalate the
issue:
1. To your [spec mentor](https://www.chromium.org/blink/spec-mentors) if you have one.
1. To a relevant group chair.
1. To the SDO's ombuds group as identified below and/or in their code of conduct.
