Code of Conduct

The essence of our code of conduct is: Always be kind.

Encouraged behavior:

• Causal set conferences have a strong tradition of extended discussion. While we want to encourage these we are also mindful that they do not translate as well to the online format. We would thus encourage the audience to keep wider questions for the discussion sessions after the talk or the slack channel.

• Virtual talks can be more strenuous for the audience to follow, we thus encourage the speakers to keep within their time limit, and to consider planning for short breaks for questions.

Prohibited behavior:

• We will not tolerate any form of misogyny, homophobia, transphobia, racism, or other discriminatory behavior. Participants engaging in any of these behaviors will be warned and may be excluded from future talks.

• Disruptive or harassing behavior of any kind will not be tolerated. Harassment includes but is not limited to inappropriate or intimidating behavior and language, offensive images, photography or recording without permission, and stalking.

• Participation in the meeting is seen as accepting this code of conduct. Violations should be reported to the meeting organizers who will evaluate an appropriate response.

E-Meeting Etiquette:

• We kindly ask participants to keep their camera on if possible, to foster an interactive seminar atmosphere and allow the speakers to see and connect to their audience.

• We ask all participants to please keep their microphone muted except when asking a question. The moderator/chair will mute your microphone if necessary.

• If you have a question, please do not interrupt the speaker yourself; instead, please post your question in the chat or use the "Raise Hand" feature. The moderator/chair will monitor the raised hands and the chat and communicate your question.

Recording:

• Talks may be recorded and published online.

• We will neither record the questions after the talk, nor video of the audience during the talk. However, any unmuted audio and therefore all questions posed during the talk will appear as part of the published recording.

If you have any further questions, suggestions, or complaints, please contact the organizers.
