Where was the public RfC that these "700 individuals" participated in? The one I saw, which took place on Meta, was, again, a very firm "No".
Off-wiki backchanneling stuff doesn't count.

The development of the Code of Conduct is part of the Strategy. The strategy and this part was endorsed by some 700 individuals representing more or less all parts of the Movement. And that group is the closest we have seen resembling a government body of the movement. But as in a democracy, even if the parliament is unanimous in a decision, it does not mean all citizens, or even groups of citizens, agree. But is the best way we know how to come to a decision.
And how to implent it is still open, and will most likely involve all parties being effected by it

Uh, guys?
That was a firm "No" on any Universal Code of Conduct. There shouldn't
be a
"drafting committee" for it, it was disapproved.

Hello everyone,
We are happy to announce that the Universal Code of Conduct drafting committee has been assembled. We had 26 volunteers apply, either by publicly signing up on the Meta page, or by sending an email. Volunteers from 18 different countries applied, speaking 11 different languages.
We had Wikimedian applicants with different levels of experience
on-wiki,
from someone who started editing only last year to people who have been editing for more than 18 years and/or have more than 300,000 edits. Applicants held a variety of different roles within the movement, and
also
informed us about interesting and relevant experiences in their
real-life
careers. It was very hard to narrow down from this diverse and extremely qualified pool of applicants.
For the final selection, two aspects guided the decision making - we
want a
committee that at the one hand will represent important parts of the movement. Prolific editors as well as Wikimedians whose strength is
more in
organizing events, wikimedians from different demographics, contributors from small and large wikis, and people holding different roles within
the
movement. We also wanted a group of people who will collaborate with one another effectively and create the best possible Universal Code of
Conduct
for the Wikimedia movement. Experience has taught us that committees
that
are too large find it difficult to work effectively, so we decided to
cap
the number of seats to 6 volunteer seats and 3 staff seats.
More information on the Committee and its new members can be found on
Meta
