The CoC Committee is prepared to handle the incident. All of our Committee members are informed of the Code of Conduct policy and guide for handling harassment at the workshop. There will be a mandatory CoC Committee meeting just prior to the workshop when this will be reiterated as well.
Report the harassment incident via private message in Slack or as an email to a member of the CoC Committee. All reports are confidential.
When reporting the event to a CoC Committee member, try to gather as much information as available, but do not interview people about the incident. The Committee member will assist you in writing the report/collecting information.
The important information we need consists of:
Identifying information (name) of the participant doing the harassing
The behaviour that was in violation
The approximate time of the behaviour (if different than the time the report was made)
The circumstances surrounding the incident
Other people involved in the incident
The CoC Committee will handle the incident following the Staff Procedure For Handling Reported Harassment.
Even though this is an online workshop if at any time you feel that your personal safety is in jeopardy then contact your local Police / law enforcement service.

This procedure has been adopted from the Ada Initiative's guide titled "workshop anti-harassment/Responding to Reports”.
