And to the one person who said we need to look at the laws of the land where the conference will be held... sorry.. that's a cop out and rings hollow once again for the same reasons I stated above. Anti-harassment laws were put into place because people didn't have the common sense to know right from wrong and ensure that the right action would be taken. The only way to protect yourself from any liabilities is to go above and beyond what the local laws say you must do. To do just the bare minimum is to fail and won't work in a court of law, nor in a court of public opinion.
My point (I am "the person who said we need to look at the law", and I have a name) was simply that it is unnecessary to list examples as Jos did, or provide detailed guidelines. Point people to a policy written by experts on the topic (there are many associations that deal with this kind of problems), instead than re-inventing the wheel, which would lead to something approximate, which is something you do not want given how delicate the topic is. Referring to the law is not "doing the bare minimum", but doing the best you can, since anything else would be anyway unenforceable.
