sidebar on accountability and enforcement

accountability

• start with believing report, aggrieved party is the judge of harassment

- Intension of behaviour (for example) does not matter, only the result

strong enforcement (harassment):

• evict from the event or community
• crimes are reported to authorities
• public letter to organization (employer or university) posted on our website, to be fair a willingness to publish response from institution
• violators of code of conduct will be not welcomed to future events, local chapters may also wish to respect this

soft enforcement (example inappropriate language, sexually charged slide material):

• discuss code of conduct with individual, evict from event or community as required
• letter to organization (employer or university) allowing organization to handle matter with discretion
• future event participation requires apology + permission of organizer + signed code of conduct posted in public on our website
