Matt,

Thanks for the clarification!  So with the policy covering all interactions
as they pertain to LOPSA, what is going to make the policy something that
sticks?  My point is this--we have a slim value proposition for being a
member. If someone violates the policy, what are the repercussions? At the
risk of seeming Draconian, what do our members lose if they violate the
sexual harassment policy? The only *real* punitive measures would be taken
by authorities, *if* the person being harassed were comfortable enough to
report it to the authorities and *if* we create an atmosphere that makes
going to the proper authorities as something that's encouraged, should a
member be harassed, sexually or otherwise.

As it stands, it seems like having the policy, to me, is something that's
merely for sake of having a sexual harassment policy, and less for the sake
of setting up a means of protecting a member experiences harassment or
physical/sexual violence. How do we take this from a high-level,
disembodied concept, to something that will effect our members "on the
ground."

Just some thoughts/musings.

Aaron
