Norwescon executive committee have announced the adoption of the anti-harassment policy they’ve been working on over the last year. That “they” is a little disingenuous, as nwcMUSIC is part of Norwescon, and therefore this is also nwcMUSIC’s anti-harassment policy, effective six days ago.

Along with many others, I provided testimony and information to the committee working on it, and I think they’ve done a pretty good job. I’m pleased to be able to say that yes, there is an official policy in place, with intent to enforce.

eta: While I, for one, applaud John Scalzi’s harassment policy pledge, I must note that this process was underway a solid year before his statement, and that it was not, despite some comments made elsewhere, prompted by his pledge movement.
