And, Jos, do you think *you* are going to kick some drunk people out? what if he is 1.90m tall and 100kgs? I already have managed such problem, trust me, it's not easy :-(
I can easly handle such people, being a bit bigger than that, and lots of experience being a bouncer at a punk-rock bar for a number of years.
Looks like we have an official bouncer, awesome. On a more serious note, I think the policy made clear that 'the conference organization' would be responsible for both judging, deciding and executing any actions, responding to complaints. That team does indeed include me I would hope that physical kicking out will not be nessesairy. Most people in our community are friendly and sensible people and no, I don't think we'll have any major issues. This more about giving a signal to potential visitors of minorities that they will be safe, AND empower them to speak up IF inappropriate behavior is occuring by giving a clear contact point. We still need to find someone for that, by the way. I am more than willing to act as contact point but if someone else steps forward that'd be great of course.
