On the point of CoCs being used dishonestly, the reverse situation must also be considered. The treatment of Naomi Osaka by the Grand Slam tennis officials is an excellent example. https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2021/06/02/naomi-osaka-mental-health-french-open-violated-law/7493794002/ The officials use the Code of Conduct as a threat against Naomi when she asked for accommodation for her mental health needs. This emphasizes the need for an arbiter for Code of Conduct issues who can be viewed as safe to approach and trustworthy to deal with the issue with the care and compassion required. ---------- Joseph Wu, Origami Artist (via iPhone) e: [email protected] w: http://www.origami.as flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/josephwuorigami/ facebook: http://www.facebook.com/joseph.wu.origami
