Folks may be interested in watching the Q&A session at the recent WikiConference USA where gender and harassment was discussed for about 45 minutes.[1] It makes for an interesting summary of how Arbcom is perceived with regard to handling harassment cases, and the types of harassment of significant concern for our community.
This has been raised on the Arbcom noticeboard[2], it will be interesting to see how many current Arbcom members make a public comment, or indeed if they are perfectly happy with the way Arbcom currently works, or not.

Yes, that was an interesting Q&A - I was familiar with most of the material discussed in the talk (and a lot of it has been discussed here before), but I was surprised by the emotional response afterwards and the number of comments/questions.

and Andrew Lih mentioned the "cultural buzzsaw" tweet for importance of fixing culture as one of the things wikipedia must do.
this was for an audience of the US powers that be; it will be interesting to see the impact on future conduct.

yes, lambs to the slaughter echoing andrew lih, i have been to a few wiki loves libraries and all the librarians are aware of the toxic culture but the militant ones are biding their time for the takeover. i was questioning DGG about some librarian ethics but he dismissed them.
also about the "political moment" response we need to start recruiting candidates for arbcom now. i asked Rosiestep https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Rosiestep , but she demurred can't say i blame her.

What we really need is trained mediators who have admin powers to sanction those who refuse to engage in mediation or who refuse to change their wicked ways.
And since there job is enhancing civility on Wikipedia, which is one of the goals of the foundation, maybe foundation could figure out a way to pay them and to make sure that cabals of rednecked wankers can't drive them out. (My own noun and adjective.)
Then far fewer things would get to untrained Arbcom %#(&$. Haven't listened to presentation to get appropriate adjective from it, but will soon. (Had a family wedding out of state so couldn't make it to the Wikiconference here in dc. DANG!!)
Now someone has to promote this to media, especially the guy from Slate who seems pretty on top of things...
I've been out of touch with the world for most of the last week, but I'm extremely disappointed to see the only active arbitrator to comment on that discussion so far just asked for a tl;dr when given a two hour long video of free advice from a leading expert in online harassment issues. Almost every case arb takes deals with harassment in one form or another - given the time they spend discussing trivialities, let alone drafting cases and on private lists, I would hope that no arbitrator (none of the sitting ones have formal training in dealing with online harrassment, AFAIK, although I may be missing someone) would refuse to spend a much smaller amount of time hearing one of the top experts n the subject talk about it. If you can't accept a two hour time committment, you probably shouldn't be an arb.

yes, notice crickets on talk page
you could be dismissive of the questions as the usual "gender gap cabal", but when andrew lih says that is the perception of the culture among library professionals, and it needs to change, you would think good faith arbs would sit up and take notice.
but as DGG says: "I hate to disillusion you, but not only is arb com very unlikely to eve[n] initiate anything, but it will not even commit itself to support anything"

FYI, a 45 minutes commitment. Not saying much more, I'm tired of being a punch bag for Arbs and ex-Arbs.

Folks may be interested in watching the Q&A session at the recent WikiConference USA where gender and harassment was discussed for about 45 minutes.[1] It makes for an interesting summary of how Arbcom is perceived with regard to handling harassment cases, and the types of harassment of significant concern for our community.
This has been raised on the Arbcom noticeboard[2], it will be interesting to see how many current Arbcom members make a public comment, or indeed if they are perfectly happy with the way Arbcom currently works, or not.

The entire session was longer than just the Q&A, and dealt with ways to appropriately handle online harassment, coming from someone holding a named chair at a major university who is widely recognized as an expert on issues of online harrassment (one of *the* experts.) Since arbs get no formal training in how to handle online harrassment beyond what ENWP provides and a little bit of guidance from WMF, it's just flat out amazing that an arb who wasn't present for the session would refuse the minimal time committment. If they don't have that much free time for free expert guidance, they either don't care about online harrassment (which is an awful lot of what they deal with) or simply don't have time (in which, given the other time committments being an arb entails, means they can't possibly have time to be an arb.)
I think next election cycle two of my questions to every candidate will be "Did you watch Danielle Citron's keynote, and if so, what are your thoughts on it?" and "Did you watch Sumana Harihareswara's keynote (from wikiconf 2014,) and if so, what are your thoughts on it?" I have a hard time imagining voting for anyone who says they didn't have time to watch them, or who can't come up with a reasonable set of comments on them. I doubt I'm alone in that.

I've been out of touch with the world for most of the last week, but I'm extremely disappointed to see the only active arbitrator to comment on that discussion so far just asked for a tl;dr when given a two hour long video of free advice from a leading expert in online harassment issues. Almost every case arb takes deals with harassment in one form or another - given the time they spend discussing trivialities, let alone drafting cases and on private lists, I would hope that no arbitrator (none of the sitting ones have formal training in dealing with online harrassment, AFAIK, although I may be missing someone) would refuse to spend a much smaller amount of time hearing one of the top experts n the subject talk about it. If you can't accept a two hour time committment, you probably shouldn't be an arb.

The speech itself is about 40 minutes, the Q&A is about 30-35 minutes, so if you listen to both, it will be a little over an hour. I have also added links to the texts of any documents mentioned.

My pleasure. The first time I did one of these, it was with hearing-impaired in mind. These are very time-consuming, but every time I do one, I am reminded again of how lucky I am to be able to hear. There does not seem to be one standard location for posting these. I see Jimmy's 2014 Wikimania speech ended up at Wikisource https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Jimmy_Wales_Speaks_at_Closing_Ceremony_of_Wik... but Sumana's keynote from last year is at the WikiiConference USA website http://wikiconferenceusa.org/wiki/2014/Sumana_Harihareswara_keynote although there is audio and video on Commons. No doubt these will also be processed in due course and magically appear somewhere with all the proper attributions.
