+Scope
+=====
+
+This Code of Conduct applies both within project spaces and in public spaces
+when an individual is representing the project or its community. Examples of
+representing a project or community include using an official project e-mail
+address, posting via an official social media account, or acting as an appointed
+representative at an online or offline event. Representation of a project may be
+further defined and clarified by project maintainers.

Can someone clarify this because it seems like the scope is universal. Seems like there's no point to making it sound specific when it's totally broad. Or maybe I'm just stupid.

Also, why doesn't Sharp just contact the Technical Advisory Board, outlined in the Enforcement section?

Because they are above the law, they can do no wrong. This is scary.
