CoC, T&C's, charters etc are words on paper. There's other words on bits of paper, that hold more weight than anything we say or do here, yet are still ignored.

 If people aren't afraid to outright break the law, then a simple CoC (which basically affirms common decency) wont do much to help.  Calling these people out (appropriately / to the authorities) and having them dealt with in that manner, causing real world consequences, certainly can. Harboring a safe environment where victims are not afraid to report and seek help, also can.

To keep on charter, perhaps we need to look at preventing these issues in future?

Looking at the AusNOG website, and the AusNOG 2018 conference sites - they appear, through my cursory look, to be devoid of a code of conduct, or similar. Perhaps, as a community, a good start would be implementing a Code of Conduct - an example I can think of is Linux Australia's, at https://linux.conf.au/attend/code-of-conduct/ .

Cheers,
Peter.


Quoting Robert Hudson <[email protected]>:

I tend to agree with Paul - if the list charter means we can't discuss a
bloody serious issue about how some of our community behave (and the fact that this behaviour is inappropriate), then I don't think I want to be on
this list any more.

Sweep this sort of thing under the carpet (and make no mistake, that's
EXACTLY what the "STOP THREAD" was doing), and you're just enabling it to
continue.

If such behaviour was reported within the ITPA membership and the
accusation was found to be true, the perpetrator would be excluded from the
organisation. Period.

I guess we find ourselves at a point where we find out what sort of group
AusNOG wants to be.

Regards,

Robert

Where large chunks of our lives are winding up on line, I find it
problematic where discussion of endemic problems get ruled outside the
terms of service. It leaves the problem to fester. Discussion should be
legitimate where there's no names, so no libel.

Also, the police will only involve themselves in instances of criminal
behaviour. Most inappropriate workplace behaviour falls short and they
won't be interested.

Kind regards

*Bevan*,

Any allegation of sexual harassment is a very serious matter and I
encourage you to raise these issues with the appropriate authorities.  The police are in the best position to deal with such allegations.   If I can be of any assistance please don’t hesitate to contact me directly, off-list.


*To the members of the list* - I’m sure any of you would agree that any form of sexual harassment is not acceptable.   As such, there is no reason for you to follow-up to Bevan’s post.  There is nothing to debate here. Please note that this is a STOP THREAD post.  Please see the list charter below if you do not understand your obligations with relation to a STOP
THREAD.
