The SF3 Board's An Apology

[james_davis_nicoll]

The SF3 Board extends heartfelt apologies to those who have been harassed at WisCon, to those who feel unsafe at WisCon, to the ConCom, and to our wider community, for letting you down. We regret allowing Rose Lemberg’s report to languish.

Seen their new big plan?

It's to provide greater accountability from the board.

By establishing a byzantine, drawn-out and pseudo-judicial system of reprimands for misbehaving board members.

Here comes the new boss, same as the old boss...

Thanks, I hadn't seen it; that may be what they meant by the weirdly vague "We will focus on our accountability". The accountability petition doesn't say it'll be pseudo-judicial. I guess I'll wait and see.

Whatever kind of thing they decide to try for accountability, I hope that they will run it on the recent events (I do not want to hear any "but ex post facto laws are unconstitutional", okay), rather than just say the process is ready to go for next time. Because there shouldn't be a next time if some accountability could prevent it.

Can they keep community members from holding con roles that they've done damage with? I have doubts it will happen; it's a hard thing to do. But if they can, good.

Do we have evidence that they desire to do so? The repeated apologies to themselves the Concon staff suggest otherwise.
