I’ve been to  a great  many  international  conferences in  my  career -  but  not  so many  since I  retired. I  can’t  recall  people wearing  ‘Don’t  touch me’,  ‘Don’t  photo me’, ‘Don’t  come near me’, ‘Don’t  talk  to  me’ badges. Do  they  do  it  nowadays already?

We’ll  porbably  never know the details of the incident  that  sparked all  this off but do I  think  it is getting  out  of proportion.

Thanks, James. I think that "clarifying the distinction between friendly spaces situations and Trust & Safety issues" is a good idea.

A specific suggestion that was made earlier in this thread which sounded like a good idea to me was to have an indicator, somewhat like we currently do for "Photos OK" or "Photos not OK", for "friendly touch OK" or "friendly touch not OK".

I would also like to see the upcoming review of the relevant policies include discussions of who should be responsible for them (I'm confused about why WMF is in charge of these issues at events instead of the local organizers) and the level of transparency regarding reports and investigations.

Thanks for your attention to these issues.
