Re: [sig-policy] An interesting policy question

Dean,

This is a good policy and should be the sort of thing that is in place at all conferences, not just 2016.

Good Morning,

InternetNZ, as the host of APRICOT 2016 would like to take this opportunity to reiterate that it seeks to support the APNIC Policy SIG session during APRICOT 2016 to be an environment where everyone can have their point of view heard in a safe environment.

To this end InternetNZ, in association with the APIA board, have worked to develop the following Code of Conduct / Anti-harrassment Policy which will be in place for the entire APRICOT 2016 summit.

We look forward to ensuring that everyone has a great time.
See you all in Auckland!

Regards
Dean
