[AusNOG] *** STOP THREAD *** Sexual Harassment at AUSNOG Industry Events

[Robert Hudson]

I tend to agree with Paul - if the list charter means we can't discuss a
bloody serious issue about how some of our community behave (and the fact
that this behaviour is inappropriate), then I don't think I want to be on
this list any more.

Sweep this sort of thing under the carpet (and make no mistake, that's
EXACTLY what the "STOP THREAD" was doing), and you're just enabling it to
continue.

If such behaviour was reported within the ITPA membership and the
accusation was found to be true, the perpetrator would be excluded from the
organisation. Period.

I guess we find ourselves at a point where we find out what sort of group
AusNOG wants to be.

Regards,

Robert
