| 6 | The Open Networking Foundation (ONF) is dedicated to providing a safe and |
| 7 | harassment-free professional environment (meetings, events, activities, both |
| 8 | online and offline) for everyone, regardless of gender, sexual orientation, |
| 9 | disability, physical appearance, race, age, religion, or any other protected |
| 10 | category. ONF does not tolerate harassment of any participant in any form. ONF |
| 11 | participants violating these rules may be sanctioned or expelled from ONF |
| 12 | projects and programs, including but not limited to online communities, |
| 13 | internal programs, and in-person events at the discretion of ONF staff, with no |
| 14 | refund. These individuals could also have their permissions revoked, and this |
| 15 | decision would be communicated to the violator’s company. In addition, |
| 16 | violations may be turned over to the appropriate authorities for resolution. |
| 17 | |
| 18 | Expected Behavior |
| 19 | ----------------- |
| 20 | |
| 21 | * Be respectful, kind, and professional |
| 22 | * Exercise consideration and empathy in your words and actions |
| 23 | * Be mindful of others |
| 24 | |
| 25 | ONF is an international community and assumes good intent, but also understands |
| 26 | that written communication, including emojis, does not always convey nuances, |
| 27 | such as humor. Please think about how your words may be misinterpreted by the |
| 28 | community before saying, posting, or sending them. |
| 29 | |
| 30 | Unacceptable Behavior |
| 31 | --------------------- |
| 32 | |
| 33 | Intimidating, harassing, discriminatory, abusive, derogatory, or demeaning |
| 34 | speech or actions by any participant, at any ONF event online or offline as |
| 35 | well as in one-on-one communication carried out in the context of ONF will not |
| 36 | be tolerated. |
| 37 | |
| 38 | Harassment includes, but is not limited to: offensive verbal comments related |
| 39 | to gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, |
| 40 | physical appearance, body size, race, age, religion; it also includes stalking, |
| 41 | following, harassing photography or recording, sustained disruption of talks or |
| 42 | other events, inappropriate physical contact, and unwelcome sexual attention. |
| 43 | |
| 44 | Consequences of Unacceptable Behavior |
| 45 | ------------------------------------- |
| 46 | |
| 47 | Participants who are asked to stop any unacceptable behavior are expected to |
| 48 | comply immediately. If a participant engages in unacceptable behavior, ONF |
| 49 | staff members or volunteer leaders may initiate any reasonable action they deem |
| 50 | appropriate, including expulsion from ONF online forums or summoning event |
| 51 | security or law enforcement. |
| 52 | |
| 53 | Contact Information |
| 54 | ------------------- |
| 55 | |
| 56 | If you are being harassed, notice that someone else is being harassed, or have |
| 57 | any other concerns involving someone’s welfare, please notify a member of the |
| 58 | ONF team or email `conduct@opennetworking.org |
| 59 | <mailto:conduct@opennetworking.org>`_. In case of an emergency, please contact |
| 60 | law enforcement first and then notify ONF. ONF will be available to help |
| 61 | participants contact local law enforcement, provide escorts, or otherwise |
| 62 | provide assistance, so that those experiencing unacceptable behavior can feel |
| 63 | safe for the duration of the event. ONF values your participation. |
