Discrimination at events
There may be situations where there may be positive discrimination at events if places are limited. For example a Women Wikimedians conference or a Silver Surfer event. To say there can be no discrimination may not be strictly possible or desirable. --Fæ 11:08, 24 January 2012 (UTC)
- Good point. At the Girl Geek Dinner events which are co-run by WMUK, the attendance policy is set by GGD. In Bristol that means that men can only attend at the invitation of a female member. In Manchester I think the dinners are women-only. We shouldn't have a policy that discourages us from working with these groups. I don't think the policy should include discrimination in terms attendance: discrimination in how people are treated is the core point. This is one reason I prefer "Friendly space policy" over "Participation policy". MartinPoulter 18:42, 24 January 2012 (UTC)
- An 'except where events are arranged for s specific group' amendment should do. Do we have a bridge that Trolls can hide under?
- The follow on will be making up some sort of procedure but should not be too hard. Jon Davies WMUK 15:19, 15 February 2012 (UTC)
