Hi All, Just wanted to let everyone know that we've had an addition duty officer volunteer this morning whose name has now been added to the list, Julie Swierczek. And a reminer that today is the last day to provide feedback on proposed duty officers so that we can move forward with preparing

Re: [CODE4LIB] [code4libcon] Proposed Duty Officer

I, for one, really appreciate those who volunteered their time to be duty officers. I saw there are only 7 people who volunteered [1]. Would some more people consider to put their name as well, at least as backup(s) for the duty officer during the shift? (alas, I'm not going to this year's

Re: [CODE4LIB] [code4libcon] Proposed Duty Officer

You are correct in that we are compiling feedback on possible duty officers. Going back to Chad's call for volunteers email [1], here is the brief description of what the officers will be and will not be doing: Briefly, a duty officers is: - a highly visible point of contact for conference

Those of you interested in this topic might find it fascinating to follow the current backlash against diversity staff and diversity initiatives in the military -- lead by former officers, Naval War College faculty and alumni who blog anonymously on U.S. Naval Institute milblogs. Military

Here's an eaxample. suppose Alice is worried about harrassment by Bob. Eve has on the list of proposed duty officers. Unfortunately Eve and Alice were once a couple, so Alice would feel comfortable going to Eve to address a possible situation with Bob. There's no accusation against Eve, but it

Re: [CODE4LIB] [code4libcon] Proposed Duty Officer

Fully agreed that anonymity is sometimes necessary to protect individuals. My interpretation of the email I responded to was that the anonymous form was for feedback for the idea of the proposed duty officers rather than the suitability of particular individuals to fill this role. My apologies

Re: [CODE4LIB] [code4libcon] Proposed Duty Officer

Apologies for the short reply with my manager's hat firmly in place - transparency is good, but there are times when a particular process or discussion should not be public. Given the sensitive nature of some of the feedback that might be presented about particular individuals, transparency would

Re: [CODE4LIB] [code4libcon] Proposed Duty Officer

I think we're all perfectly fine with discussing this issue in the open, by all means let's do that. The Code of Conduct on GitHub is a shining example of this; the whole discussion is in the open and you can see the conversations around particular passages unfold in the issues queue. The problem

Re: [CODE4LIB] [code4libcon] Proposed Duty Officer

Mark, That is a very good point and an oversight on my part. It seems like a google form that does not require contact information would provide an option for anonymous feedback. Does that seem reasonable? Chad On Tue, Feb 23, 2016 at 12:36 PM Mark A. Matienzo wrote:

Re: [CODE4LIB] [code4libcon] Proposed Duty Officer

Hi Chad, Can you clarify about how feedback should be submitted regarding the duty officers? I understand that this may be a sensitive topic, and that individuals with feedback may want to provide it on an anonymous basis. Thanks, Mark -- Mark A. Matienzo |
