Re: [88attendees] Anti-harassment policy and ombudsperson

We are writing to thank the IESG and others who were involved for establishing an anti-harassment policy for the IETF. We support the policy, the IESG's authority to issue such a policy, and the creation of the ombudsperson role. Having a confidant with whom to discuss harassment will be most welcome and it is our hope that by establishing this policy, incidents of harassment at IETF meetings will be reduced in the future.

Sincerely,

In the meantime, Linda Klieforth from ISOC HR department is attending IETF-88 in Vancouver. She has kindly promised to act as a temporary ombudsperson during the meeting, should concerns arise. She can be reached at klieforth@isoc.org. Thank you, Linda!
