[AusNOG] Sexual Harassment at AUSNOG Industry Events

[Peter Tonoli]

 From Bevan's initial email, it appears so. If you've got a better  
suggestion, I'm sure we're all open to hearing it?

LCA's CoC isn't limited to issues of a sexual nature however: TL;DR  
they just want everyone to have a good time at their events.

Cheers,
