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

That was a firm "No" on any Universal Code of Conduct. There shouldn't

disapproved.
