Let's talk the practical and the implementation. Kinda tired reading the on and on and on discussions.
So, um, if I get harrased and I felt threatened, can I beat up that person senseless first for self-defense, then report the incident to... to whom? There's on open question on the github [1] that I haven't seen been discussed yet. At least, I haven't heard the input from this year's organizer: "Do we require a duty officer<http://geekfeminism.wikia.com/wiki/Conference_anti-harassment/Duty_officer> explicitly? Is it fair/reasonable/workable to have conference staff be in that role?" ranti. [1] https://github.com/code4lib/antiharassment-policy -- Bulk mail. Postage paid.
