  <div bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000">
    hm...a little worrying how technology oriented people get ideologic.<br>
    <br>
    Why do I say "ideologic"?<br>
    <br>
    - belief structures. "One has to" and "obviously" lack a clear
    subject in charge of giving the instructions (which effectively is
    happening).<br>
    As a consequence, someone not agreeing (read: not sharing this
    belief) is subliminally put on the side of the assumed
    not-so-good-doers: "Are you afraid of that commitment?"<br>
    <br>
    - attacking non-believers and suppressing free discussion. Examples:</div><div bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000"><br>
    > "more than a little annoyed that we’re even having this
    conversation."<br>
    <br></div><div bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000">
    - obscured authority. No institution/person/etc is named which is
    responsible for requirements and soliciting actions. Citing:</div><div bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000"><br>
    > How do you know what’s genuinely awful and what’s “kind of
    bad”?<br></div><div bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000">
    Who is the authority answering this, and doing so for the whole
    planet and all its cultures?<br>
    <br>
    - lack of evidence. At "some" conferences "some" "incidents" are
    said to have happened. Notice the 3-fold fuzziness which disallows
    others to gain their own opinion and participate in discussion.
    "conferences ... do not fair [ie: fare] so well" likewise excludes
    communication partners from discussion as the assumed underlying
    evidence is not shared.<br>
    FWIW, I have attended all sorts of conferences all around this
    planet for decades now and have not witnessed a single "incident"
    that would require normative action.<br>
    <br>
    - pseudo-evidence. Examples are listed to underpin that codes of
    conduct are a rulle. A clean statistical argument would indicate a
    percentage of conferences. Also note this pattern: 2 conferences
    have a CoC, so we must also have one, end of discussion. Next
    conference: 3 conferences have a CoC, so we must also have one, end
    of discussion.<br>
    <br>
    So, ideologic it is along the definition of Steger & James:
    "Ideologies are patterned clusters of normatively imbued ideas and
    concepts, including particular representations of power relations.
    These conceptual maps help people navigate the complexity of their
    political universe and carry claims to social truth." [1]<br>
    <br>
    Personally, I have an uneasy feeling going to a conference that
    assumes that I (or my community, for that matter) needs tight
    behavioral control. Next step is an obligatory "conduct police" that
    patrols conferences to spot non-conforming behavior. Inverting the
    below sentence, "I would have had to seriously consider if I wanted
    to keynote at a conference _with_ a code of conduct". <br>
    <br>
    All that said, Darrell is raising the core questions indeed, I try
    to honestly give my 2 cents:</div><div bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000"><br>
    > What if something genuinely awful happens? What will you do? <br>
    </div><div bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000"><div>step in. done that earlier (in private situations, again: never
      necessary at any conference)<br>
      <br>
    </div>
    <div></div></div><div bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000"><div>> What about something kind of bad? How will you recognize
      that, and how will you handle it? Who will do it?<br>
      <div>> How do you know what’s genuinely awful and what’s “kind
        of bad”? </div>
      </div></div><div bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000"><div><div>based on common sense and the good education my parents gave
        me. Which is inherently risk prone and delicate when getting
        intercultural, so requires a _lot_ of care and, if ever
        possible, seeking advice from members of the cultures concretely
        involved.<br>

                                  I'm in favour of a Code Of Conduct,
                                  but suggest there should be some
                                  tweaking of the words (if using <a href="https://2015.foss4g-na.org/code-conduct" target="_blank">https://2015.foss4g-na.org/code-conduct</a>
                                  text)<br>
                                  <br>
                                  Reasons:<br>
                                  1. At the moment, I think some wording
                                  is a bit loose, and open to
                                  misinterpretation between cultures and
                                  geographic regions. What does "Sexual
                                  images" mean? Is it nudity? Does a
                                  photo of a field trip with naked
                                  natives constitute a "sexual image"?
                                  Is the clique advertisement of a
                                  pretty sales girl standing next to a
                                  car considered a "Sexual image"?
                                  Should we be using a Middle East
                                  definition of "Sexual image" or
                                  "American" where the norm for
                                  acceptable clothes are different? Is
                                  wearing a mini-skirt considered
                                  acceptable? (I don't have good words
                                  to address this, but suspect there
                                  would be template material somewhere
                                  which could be used).<br>
                                  <br>
                                  2. We should be careful to try and
                                  avoid attendees feeling that they are
                                  being lectured to, as if organisors
                                  expect attendees to be guilty. Maybe
                                  start with, "In order to ensure a
                                  pleasant experience for everyone, all
                                  attendees are *expected to*  ...
                                  (instead of *required to* ...)"<br>
                                  <br>
                                  David,<br>
                                  Once finalised, I suggest adding a
                                  section about "Code of Conduct" into:

                                                from attendees since
                                                adding these to the
                                                conferences and have
                                                certainly seen an impact
                                                in gender diversity

                                                along with other
                                                outreach and diversity

                                                very easy step towards
                                                ensuring that everyone
                                                is assured of the
