[IAEP] Code of Conduct Motion to add Anti-harassment policy - Sugar Labs

[Laura Vargas]

Hello all, Hola a todos,

[Thanks in advance to volunteer translators of this message]

I would like to propose a Motion for: "The Sugar Labs Code of Conduct to
include the Geek Feminism Community anti-harassment Policy
<http://geekfeminism.wikia.com/wiki/Community_anti-harassment/Policy> and
to dispose resources (if needed) for the complete text to be translated to
Sugar supported languages. This Policy contemplates the existence of a
RESPONSE TEAM and defining a way and procedure to contact them.

Hope to hear opinions and feedback from all Sugar Labs members.

Hopefully volunteers to integrate the RESPONSE TEAM.

According to Geek Feminism
<http://geekfeminism.wikia.com/wiki/Geek_Feminism_Wiki> anti-harassment
Policy, harassment includes:

   - Offensive comments related to gender, gender identity and expression,
   sexual orientation, disability, mental illness, neuro(a)typicality,
   physical appearance, body size, age, race, or religion.
   - Unwelcome comments regarding a person’s lifestyle choices and
   practices, including those related to food, health, parenting, drugs, and
   employment.
   - Deliberate misgendering or use of ‘dead’ or rejected names.
   - Gratuitous or off-topic sexual images or behaviour  in spaces where
   they’re not appropriate.
   - Physical contact and simulated physical contact (eg, textual
   descriptions like “*hug*” or “*backrub*”) without consent or after a
   request to stop.
   - Threats of violence.
   - Incitement of violence towards any individual, including encouraging a
   person to commit suicide or to engage in self-harm.
   - Deliberate intimidation.
   - Stalking or following.
   - Harassing photography or recording, including logging online activity
   for harassment purposes.
   - Sustained disruption of discussion.
   - Unwelcome sexual attention.
   - Pattern of inappropriate social contact, such as requesting/assuming
   inappropriate levels of intimacy with others
   - Continued one-on-one communication after requests to cease.
   - Deliberate “outing” of any aspect of a person’s identity without their
   consent except as necessary to protect vulnerable people from intentional
   abuse.
   - Publication of non-harassing private communication.

Anti-harassment policy text Shorter version

COMMUNITY NAME is dedicated to providing a harassment-free experience for
everyone, regardless of gender, gender identity and expression, sexual
orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, age, race, or
religion. We do not tolerate harassment of participants in any form.

This code of conduct applies to all COMMUNITY NAME spaces, including [list,
eg "our mailing lists and IRC channel"], both online and off. Anyone who
violates this code of conduct may be sanctioned or expelled from these
spaces at the discretion of the RESPONSE TEAM.

Some COMMUNITY NAME spaces may have additional rules in place, which will
be made clearly available to participants. Participants are responsible for
knowing and abiding by these rules.
Longer version

COMMUNITY NAME is dedicated to providing a harassment-free experience for
everyone. We do not tolerate harassment of participants in any form.

This code of conduct applies to all COMMUNITY NAME spaces, including [give
a list of your spaces, eg "our mailing lists and IRC channel"], both online
and off. Anyone who violates this code of conduct may be sanctioned or
expelled from these spaces at the discretion of the RESPONSE TEAM.

Some COMMUNITY NAME spaces may have additional rules in place, which will
be made clearly available to participants. Participants are responsible for
knowing and abiding by these rules.

Harassment includes:

   - Offensive comments related to gender, gender identity and expression,
   sexual orientation, disability, mental illness, neuro(a)typicality,
   physical appearance, body size, age, race, or religion.
   - Unwelcome comments regarding a person’s lifestyle choices and
   practices, including those related to food, health, parenting, drugs, and
   employment.
   - Deliberate misgendering or use of ‘dead’ or rejected names.
   - Gratuitous or off-topic sexual images or behaviour  in spaces where
   they’re not appropriate.
   - Physical contact and simulated physical contact (eg, textual
   descriptions like “*hug*” or “*backrub*”) without consent or after a
   request to stop.
   - Threats of violence.
   - Incitement of violence towards any individual, including encouraging a
   person to commit suicide or to engage in self-harm.
   - Deliberate intimidation.
   - Stalking or following.
   - Harassing photography or recording, including logging online activity
   for harassment purposes.
   - Sustained disruption of discussion.
   - Unwelcome sexual attention.
   - Pattern of inappropriate social contact, such as requesting/assuming
   inappropriate levels of intimacy with others
   - Continued one-on-one communication after requests to cease.
   - Deliberate “outing” of any aspect of a person’s identity without their
   consent except as necessary to protect vulnerable people from intentional
   abuse.
   - Publication of non-harassing private communication.

COMMUNITY NAME prioritizes marginalized people’s safety over privileged
people’s comfort. RESPONSE TEAM reserves the right not to act on complaints
regarding:

   - ‘Reverse’ -isms, including ‘reverse racism,’ ‘reverse sexism,’ and
   ‘cisphobia’
   - Reasonable communication of boundaries, such as “leave me alone,” “go
   away,” or “I’m not discussing this with you.”
   - Communicating in a ‘tone’ you don’t find congenial
   - Criticizing racist, sexist, cissexist, or otherwise oppressive
   behavior or assumptions

Reporting

If you are being harassed by a member of COMMUNITY NAME, notice that
someone else is being harassed, or have any other concerns, please contact
the RESPONSE TEAM at [email address or other contact point]. If the person
who is harassing you is on the team, they will recuse themselves from
handling your incident. We will respond as promptly as we can.

This code of conduct applies to COMMUNITY NAME spaces, but if you are being
harassed by a member of COMMUNITY NAME outside our spaces, we still want to
know about it. We will take all good-faith reports of harassment by
COMMUNITY NAME members, especially LEADERSHIP TEAM, seriously. This
includes harassment outside our spaces and harassment that took place at
any point in time. The abuse team reserves the right to exclude people from
COMMUNITY NAME based on their past behavior, including behavior outside
COMMUNITY NAME spaces and behavior towards people who are not in COMMUNITY
NAME.

In order to protect volunteers from abuse and burnout, we reserve the right
to reject any report we believe to have been made in bad faith. Reports
intended to silence legitimate criticism may be deleted without response.

We will respect confidentiality requests for the purpose of protecting
victims of abuse. At our discretion, we may publicly name a person about
whom we’ve received harassment complaints, or privately warn third parties
about them, if we believe that doing so will increase the safety of
COMMUNITY NAME members or the general public. We will not name harassment
victims without their affirmative consent.
Consequences

Participants asked to stop any harassing behavior are expected to comply
immediately.

If a participant engages in harassing behavior, RESPONSE TEAM may take any
action they deem appropriate, up to and including expulsion from all
COMMUNITY NAME spaces and identification of the participant as a harasser
to other COMMUNITY NAME members or the general public.
