<p dir="ltr">One element of the issue I'd like to highlight is the matter of what weight is placed on the policy by conference organisers. My feeling is that the Code of Conduct was substantially underplayed at LCA2014. IIRC there was a slide mentioning photography, but no mention of it nor emphasis of the Code in general.</p>
<p dir="ltr">No number of new rules will help if people aren't aware of them and reminded of them. My feeling is that emphasising that photography is potentially sensitive and that people should hold themselves to a high standard in terms of gaining consent, exercising discretion, etc. would go a long way.</p>
<p dir="ltr">I'd like to see the existing rules brought to the forefront and made tangible; without that, we risk sliding into legalistic arguments that really aren't the point at all.</p>
