<p>Hi everyone, <br>
</p>
<p>This Grant Request was discussed on the Grants List and
considered at Council Meeting 24th May. <br>
</p>
<p>The Council was divided on this Grant Request and noted the
feedback provided on the Grants List. While we recognise the need
for appropriate incident response training that encompasses
current best practice regarding diversity, inclusion and related
matters, the current proposal is not Australian-based and does not
cover Australian legal frameworks. <br>
</p>
<p>We believe that the _what_ here is valid - and would increase the
capability of Safety and Incident Response teams - but the _how_
- how this is done - needs to be revisited. <br>
</p>

Further, the amount requested in the original Grant Proposal is to be sequestered from Grant funds so that the funds are set aside pending an amended proposal. </span></p></li>

<div>## Aim<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>This funding request will fund one remote training session
for Code of Conduct Incident Response from Otter Technologies
for up to 10 members of the organising teams from under the
umbrella of Linux Australia events. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>## Rationale</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Linux Australia requests that event subcommittees have a
Code of Conduct for their event. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>This is a good first step to ensure a safe and inclusive
conference for attendees. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>In the event that incidents occur at a conference, there
needs to be knowledge on the ground from members of an
Incident Response Team (aka Conduct Team) in the basics of how
to handle an incident: attendee care, resolution practices,
liability, reporting process, anonymity processes, aftercare. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Conduct teams have been present at PyCon AU 2016, PyCon AU
2017, <a href="http://linux.conf.au" moz-do-not-send="true">linux.conf.au</a>
2017 and <a href="http://linux.conf.au"
moz-do-not-send="true">linux.conf.au</a> 2018. However,
members of this teams, to the best of my knowledge, have never
undertaken formal training for this role</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>By having this training undertaken by members of the
community of various Linux Australia conferences, we can seed
the knowledge of how to take the next step in ensuring active
attendee safety at Linux Australia events. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Note: this training is one of two training session offered.
A “Train the Trainers” session is is a separate course, quote
and additional grant request pending, which would allow
attendees of both sessions to then have the knowledge to train
their own Conduct teams. This would allow for a larger pool of
trained persons to attend more events and be a part of more
Conduct teams. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>## Success</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Attendees undertaking training will be able to take the
skills learnt and CC-BY materials provided and use them to
ensure their own events have trained Incident Response members
who can serve on Conduct teams in order to ensure attendee
safety. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Attendees have also been chosen as they are “serial
conference attendees”, so their skills can be of service
across a number of events for years to come. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>## Costs Breakdown</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The training is as follows: </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Name: Code of Conduct Incident Response</div>
<div>Provider: Otter Technologies</div>
<div><a
href="https://otter.technology/code-of-conduct-training/"
moz-do-not-send="true">https://otter.technology/code-of-conduct-training/</a></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Cost:<b> $3,500 USD</b> for up to 10 attendees in one
remote session</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><i>Note: the training can have up to 14 attendees, but 8 -
10 is the normal size of groups. Given this is a specific
request by specific people, we are limiting the attendees to
10</i></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>## Training details: </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The training provided comprises of a 3 - 4 hour session,
split across group and pair activities, relating to incident
response overviews, pair role-play of reporting and receiving
an incident report, and take-home materials including Incident
Response forms (CC licensed)</div>
<div><br>

<div>Trainer: Sage Sharp</div>

<div>## Testimonial</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Sam Kimbrel, North Bay Python Organiser, PyCon AU 2016
Speaker</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>> Sage’s organizer training clearly outlined the core
responsibilities an event team </div>
<div>> has towards its attendees, staff, speakers, and
volunteers, and offered concrete </div>
<div>> steps to handle these responsibilities in a safe,
sustainable fashion. There are myriad </div>
<div>> pitfalls in actually implementing a strong code of
conduct and we felt much more </div>
<div>> confident in our ability to avoid as many as we could
after the training.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>## Attendees</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>This grant request allows for one remote training session
for up to ten people. The following eight people are
requesting these funds. There is still room for two more
attendees, should anyone else be interested in attending</div>
