On the contrary, I do not think this is an imposition by the Board or WMF
as we are allowed to comment on the draft, and suggest improvement.
I have been following the process closely and I do not see anything that
looks like an "imposition"
The Universal Code of Conduct is not a substitute to the existing policy or
guidelines but a behavioural guidelines expected of users in any Wikimedia
project.

As this is being explicitly imposed by the board from
above without
community approval, participating in any way is ethically unsound. Doubly
so without a board election preceding this as the WMF has arbitrarily
denied communities the right, as manifested in the election of the
community seats, to voice their opinions of actions that WMF has taken over
the last 18 months. A collaborative process is a collaborative process when
it's actually a collaborative process, not just when it's called one.
The best use of time at this point is to organize the communities to use
every means at its disposal to resist such an imposition.
