We will not tolerate harassment of participants in any form. Attendance at the “New Horizons in Planetary Systems” meeting implies consent to abide by this code of conduct.
Explicitly, please follow these guidelines:
Any participant who wishes to report a violation of this policy is asked to speak, in confidence, to a member of the LOC. Consequences may range from verbal warning, to ejection from the meeting without refund, to notifying appropriate authorities. Retaliation for complaints of inappropriate conduct will not be tolerated. If a participant observes inappropriate comments or actions and personal intervention seems appropriate and safe, they should be considerate of all parties before intervening.
To avoid any confusion or bias in dealing with reports of violations of the code of conduct, the following protocol will be followed:
Based on the nature of the violation and the response, the LOC will decide upon appropriate actions. Where a violation of the policy is deemed to have occurred, a record will be kept to that effect.
For a confidential resource, we encourage you to talk to Astronomy Allies. We will identify Astronomy Allies on their name badges.
This code of conduct is a variation on the CASCA Code of Conduct, which was in turn based on the “London Code of Conduct”, as originally designed for the conference “Accurate Astrophysics. Correct Cosmology”, held in London in July 2015. The London Code was adapted with permission by Andrew Pontzen and Hiranya Peiris from a document by Software Carpentry, which itself derives from original Creative Commons documents by PyCon and Geek Feminism.
