+## If You Witness or Are Subject to Unacceptable Behavior
+
+If you are subject to or witness unacceptable behavior, or have any other concerns, please notify a community organizer as soon as possible.

+You can make a personal report by contacting any member of the organizers.
+
+When taking a personal report, our staff will ensure you are safe and cannot be overheard. They may involve other event staff to ensure your report is managed properly.
+
+Once safe, we’ll ask you to tell us about what happened. This can be upsetting, but we’ll handle it as respectfully as possible, and you can bring someone to support you. You won’t be asked to confront anyone and we won’t tell anyone who you are.
+

+
+If you feel you have been falsely or unfairly accused of violating this Code of Conduct, you should notify one of the event organizers with a concise description of your grievance.
