The Verge has a detailed (read: graphic) report of predatory behaviour from ex-Auckland security expert Morgan Marquis-Boire, late of Google and the Citizen Lab of the University of Toronto, with connections to the Freedom of the Press Foundation, the EFF, and presumably others.�� Content warning for sexual assault issues:

I can only commend those who have come forward, and also Ron Deibert of Citizen Lab for his well-aimed response.

Without opening old wounds, I'd suggest that the Citizen Lab code of conduct might be useful food for thought where public WLUG events are involved. (unless a code of conduct already exists and I missed it?)�� A separate incorporated society I'm involved in has had to deal with complaints of a predator at an event, and a similar document could have done wonders for laying out how to appropriately evaluate and respond in the absence of a police complaint. The Harvey Weinstein disclosures are making clear how endemic this behaviour is, and how rare appropriate responses are.
