In my opinion there is still a difference between implicit and explicit
agreement to a CoC, as explicit agreeement makes knowledge about the CoC
undeniable.

For full transparency: In a future council meeting, I'm planning to
suggest expanding this explicit agreement on further groups and
projects, that are eventually controlled by the Council and whose
members are supposed to act as role models (e.g., comrel, recruiters and
QA).
