[Air-L] AoIR 2016 Conference Code of Conduct

[Anna Lauren Hoffmann]

I'd also like to add a big thanks to the AoIR community members - Jenny
Korn, Anne Pasek, Pip Shea, and several others - who provided input and
guidance as those of us then on the Exec worked out developing this
Statement of Inclusivity a couple years back! That folks - and especially
grad students and junior scholars - were willing to step in and help out
with this speaks volumes about the culture of AoIR. :)
