gives clear steps for conference participants to follow if they
feel the policy is being violated and not all policies have
that. I think it needs to be more than a condemnation of the
behavior to saying how it will be addressed.

<br>
After some discussion with Kathy and Amy, and following the
example of<br>
ALA, Code4Lib, and numerous technical conferences, I would
like to<br>
propose that Evergreen adopt a code of conduct for events
such as the<br>
conference and hackaways. The purpose of the code would be
to<br>
emphasize that such events are welcome to all, and to back
up that<br>
welcome with a clear procedure for redress if somebody
should be<br>
harassed.<br>
<br>
To be clear, to my knowledge there have been no incidents of<br>
harassment at any Evergreen conference or other event; the
reason for<br>
instituting a policy now is to be prepared in case of future
incidents<br>
and to stand in solidarity with other inclusive events and<br>
organizations.<br>
<br>
Here are some links to sample policies and discussion of
reasons for<br>
adopting them<br>

I believe that it is likely that there will be an increase
in the<br>
numbers of potential keynote speakers who will require that
any event<br>
they speak at have a stated policy.<br>
