</span>To add some background, the wording used in the Evergreen Code of<br>
Conduct has its origins in the JSConf code of conduct, which in turn<br>
draws from the Geek Feminism Wiki's model code [1]. The corresponding<br>
clause from the Geek Feminism model reads:<br>
<br>
$CONFERENCE is dedicated to providing a harassment-free<br>
conference experience for everyone [, regardless of gender,<br>
gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability,<br>
physical appearance, body size, race, age or religion<br>
[insert any other specific concerns here]].<br>
<br>
"Gender identity and expression" was added to that model on 26 May<br>
2013, but hadn't yet propagated to the JSConf version at the time we<br>
were drafting Evergreen's code. That said, adding "gender identity and<br>
expression" is, IMO, a clarification of the intent of the Evergreen<br>
code of conduct, not a change to its intent (i.e., we're not asserting<br>
that harassment based on gender identity and expression was previously<br>
OK; they were not).<br>
<br>
I note that the the Geek Feminism version also explicitly mentions<br>
"age"; I suggest that the EOB consider including that as well in the<br>
interests of keeping the code of conference aligned with the Geek<br>
Feminism model.<br>
