Not sure how that applies, per:

https://www.postgresql.org/community/

to

https://www.postgresql.org/community/user-groups/

to

https://www.postgresql.org/about/policies/user-groups/


"To become recognised as PostgreSQL User Group, the user group must 
self-certify that they meet the criteria below, aimed at ensuring they 
meet the standards of openness expected in the PostgreSQL Community. "


[...]

"The PostgreSQL User Group MUST adopt and follow an appropriate Code of 
Conduct to ensure a safe and enjoyable environment for anyone who wishes 
to participate.

     The PostgreSQL User Group SHOULD adopt the PostgreSQL Code of Conduct.
"

So you can be a 'community' recognized group without holding to the Core 
CoC.

There needs to a be set definition of what 'community' refers to, as of 
now I can see no reason they can't be titled 'Community'.
