SM,
I do not think it is a call for the shepherd to decide to add it or not,
but to us as a group.
Also, I do not see why included the text or not will stop somebody to sued
the IETF, but I am not a lawyer.
And, as recent events of discussions about harassment, I am firmly believe
that this issue has to be addressed in the draft, if not as a whole policy
at least to mention that any type of harassment (sexual, racial, etc.)
should not be done.

The lack of any mention of harassment is intentional. Harassment is a
serious matter. It is much more than about transgressing the guidelines
for conduct. In theory someone might be able to take legal action against
the IETF or the person responsible. In simple terms the IETF guidelines
for conduct is to "play nice".
In my personal opinion it would be better not to discuss about harassment
in the draft. I am open to adding text if the document shepherd recommends
it.
