I have to say that this seems like a red herring to me.

1. The CoC committee handles actual incidents involving real people.  It's not their job to boil the ocean and create a
newworld; they deal with the matters brought before them.  I have no reason to believe that they will not apply good
senseand judgement to the handling of the specific cases. 

2. I don't think that there is a country where someone being driven out of a technical community by harassment is an
acceptablelocal value. 

3. The only actual real-life example of a culture clash that I've seen offered up here is the ability to say "c*nt" on
atechnical mailing list about databases.  That seems a very strange and specific hill to choose to die on in this
discussion.
