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.
