<cough> It did have strong, in fact much stronger
anti-harrasment/discrimination guidelines in the T&Cs already. The
"policy" made no mention at all about involving the Police or other
appropriate agencies if required. The T&C's *do*.

Also, all people attending the conference, speakers and delegates have
to agree to the T&Cs.
