Jari,Hi Mike,Has either or both of the ISOC and IETF trust lawyers reviewed this, especially section 5?We have asked for and received from outside counsel and the ISOC insurance folks a risk assessment. For what it is worth, we’ve been told that there’s probably also (more) risk associated with not having this procedure in place :-) In any case, after a discussion and feedback we revised some of the text in Section 2 and 5.1. From my perspective we are ready to move forward. Jari In section 2 you have "race, gender, religion, age, color, national origin, ancestry, disability, sexual orientation, or gender identity." If I look at the various lists I see in the EU, I see that you have omitted: disability, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, and gender reassignment. Why are these omitted? Additionally it is common to see religion or belief rather than just religion. I assume that this is to cover the case of discrimination against non-believers. Finally not in most lists but gaining traction is obesity discrimination. Whilst you have catch-all text, not including the complete set of commonly agreed criteria risks the IETF presenting the image that those forms of discrimination are somehow less important, provides scope for a Respondent to escape appropriate sanction, and may cause a Reporter to be reluctant to put forward a legitimate complaint in these regards. - Stewart |
