[Amanda French]

I’ve made a page for the anti-harassment policy at http://thatcamp.org/about/anti-harassment-policy/ and have linked to that from the THATCamp Registry form at http://thatcamp.org/registry. Still musing on how best to incorporate it (and the Proceedings) into new THATCamp sites, but will figure that out soon.

[Amanda French]

I meant to mention, too, that I’ll publish a blog post about the new policy, as well.

[Patrick Murray-John]

Thanks, Amanda! I should have thought of that step!

[Patrick Murray-John]

As always, many thanks for the helpful and excellent notes, Micah! They do so much to keep us on track!
