[Air-L] FW: AoIR 2016 Conference Code of Conduct

[Light Ben]

Hi all, 

I just wanted to highlight that Mia Consalvo provided the link to the existing Diveristy and Inclusivity Statement – adopted in 2014 (see below).  This does refer to conference activity.  

Cheers, 

Ben.

While it isn't specific to the Berlin conference I would point out that
AoIR as an organization has a Diversity and Inclusivity Statement:
