[Eg-oversight-board] Motion: approve code of conduct

[Galen Charlton]

Hi,

I move that the following code of conduct be adopted for Evergreen
events, included but not limited to the conference and hackaways.

My thanks to Ben, Rogan, and Kathy for their work on this draft.

"Evergreen Event Code of Conduct

All delegates, speakers, sponsors and volunteers at any Evergreen
event are required to agree with the following code of conduct.
Organizers will enforce this code throughout the event.

The Quick Version

Evergreen event organizers are dedicated to providing a
harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of gender, sexual
orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, or
religion. We do not tolerate harassment of event participants in any
form. Sexual language and imagery is not appropriate for any event
venue, including talks. Event participants violating these rules may
be sanctioned or expelled from the event without a refund at the
discretion of the event organizers.

The Less Quick Version

Participants asked to stop any harassing behavior are expected to
comply immediately. Sponsors are also subject to the anti-harassment
policy. In particular, sponsors should not use sexualized images,
activities, or other material. Booth staff (including volunteers)
should not use sexualized clothing/uniforms/costumes, or otherwise
create a sexualized environment.

If a participant engages in harassing behavior, event organizers
retain the right to take any actions to keep the event a welcoming
environment for all participants. Event organizers may take action to
redress anything designed to, or with the clear impact of, disrupting
the event or making the environment hostile for any participants.

If you are being harassed, notice that someone else is being harassed,
or have any other concerns, please contact a member of event staff
immediately. Event staff can be identified by a clearly marked "STAFF"
badge, button or shirt.

Event staff will be happy to help participants contact hotel/venue
security or local law enforcement, provide escorts, or otherwise
assist those experiencing harassment to feel safe for the duration of
the event. We value your attendance.

We expect participants to follow these rules at all event venues and
event-related social activities. We think people should follow these
rules outside event activities too!

This code of conduct is borrowed, slightly modified, from the folks at
GopherCon, who borrowed it from JSConf, with permission."

Regards,

Galen
