PURPOSE/SUMMARY

On behalf of the community (with the final director’s agreement for any legal related decision such as the ability to buy a ticket) : 

• The Consent committee is a “winter” group of volunteers that ensure a post event consent breaches reports analysis to assess if any followup is needed, make sure that all follow-up are deployed with an ethical, restorative and confidential approach to contribute as much as possible to the event long term safety, in proposing a learning path (instead of a straight ban), to anyone who broke (at a significatively level of impact on another person or risk for the event sustainability), the Nowhere Participant Code of Conduct.
• The 2 Consent Committee co-leads are responsible for the selection of the consent breaches reports that deserve a specific follow-up
• The 2 Consent Committee co-leads are responsible for the yearly Consent Committee Members recruitment and training
• The 2 Consent Committee co-leads are responsible for the deployment of the consent committee action plan that they have defined together.so that the situation is clarified for the persons having been reported by May of the following year (documentation and agreement up to date).  Some of them imply an official warning email, others imply a session whose input is an agreement listing some criteria to respect if those participants want to be allowed to come back to the event.
