Again, this is to create an environment where harassment is not welcome, and if it happens, a consequence for that action happening. That's all.
I guess most would agree on harassment being unwelcome. The problems come when you want to define the term. My experience shows that there are noticable cultural differences as to what *is* a harassment. Who's definition do we use?
"whatever makes someone feel uncomfortable". Yes, completely subjective, and as this IS about subjective feelings, that is all the definition we need.
It has happened numerous times at other open source conferences, so there's nothing to stop it from happening here unless we specifically let everyone know that it will not be tolerated at all.
Yes, but you also have to explicitely state which behaviour is deemed to be in that category. You can't assume that everybody is on the same terms!
