[NCUC-DISCUSS] Best practices in anti-harassment policies

[Shane Kerr]

Fellow NCUC members,

[ Only sending to NCUC on purpose. ]

I see concerns come up repeatedly in the discussion of ICANN's proposed
anti-harassment policy. Fortunately (?), ICANN is not the first
organization to attempt to introduce an anti-harassment policy. People
have often expressed similar concerns in those venues. So often that
there is a FAQ:

http://geekfeminism.wikia.com/wiki/Conference_anti-harassment/Policy_resources#Common_concerns_about_adoption

In fact I've seen each of those issues raised either here or on
Facebook (ug, don't ask!), except for the Autism one (I guess that
that's more of a problem in communities with more geeks and fewer
lawyers).

I'd ask that everyone concerned or otherwise interested please have a
look there. I don't know that this will make anyone less concerned, but
it will at least save us having to re-visit ground that is already been
covered. :)

Also interesting may be this table:

http://geekfeminism.wikia.com/wiki/Code_of_conduct_evaluations

It shows how people working in this area evaluate code of conducts.
(The proposed ICANN policy actually meets most of the criteria. Except
for the things that I mentioned I think it is not horrible.)

Cheers,
