Why an OSSG CoC? The BCS Code of Conduct is for members and does not cover participants at events who may not be members of the BCS. It gives an explicit signal to all that we are truly an open and inclusive community within the BCS and to those groups we share events with. By agreeing to adopt the OSSG CoC, members can demonstrate that their support for addressing the unconscious bias and lack of diversity which currently exists with the IT profession.

Proposed OSSG Code of Conduct Available at nduct.com/index-bcs-ossg.html/index.html The Quick Version: The BCS OSSG is dedicated to providing a harassment-free experience for everyone attending our events, regardless of gender, gender identity and expression, age, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, ethnicity, religion (or lack thereof), or technology choices. We do not tolerate harassment of event participants in any form. Sexual language and imagery is not appropriate for any event venue, including talks, workshops, parties, Twitter and other online media. Event participants violating these rules may be sanctioned or expelled from the event at the discretion of the event organisers.

Next Steps Raise awareness Poll of OSSG members Agree final form of an OSSG CoC Promote the CoC and monitoring effects of having a CoC
