Detailed Rules for the above
At the start of the AGM, immediately after confirming the quorum and accepting the agenda, the chair will ask members in attendance to approve the ground rules. Such rules could include being recognized by the chair before speaking, speaking only once regarding each agenda item, and limiting each speech to three minutes.
The following list sets out expected standards of conduct for all Parties. All Parties shall:
Hold paramount and protect as they are reasonably able the safety, health, integrity and welfare of all persons involved in MLPOA activities.
Act in such a manner as to uphold and enhance personal and professional respect, integrity, and the dignity of MLPOA while remaining consistent with its mission of advancing and protecting all human rights.
Consistent with the MLPOA values of Inclusion, Diversity, Equity and Access (“IDEA”), treat with respect, fairness and impartiality all persons, without regard to or discrimination based on characteristics such as race, ethnicity, colour, national origin, religion, gender, age, marital status, wealth, income, class, disability, veteran status, citizenship status, education, political viewpoints, genetic information, sexual orientation, physical appearance or affect, or gender identity or expression.
Respect and protect privileged and/or confidential information to which they have access in the course of their duties.
MLPOA will not tolerate harassment or discrimination against any person based on race, ethnicity, colour, religion, creed, national origin, ancestry, sex, gender, wealth, income, class, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, age, disability, education, political viewpoints, genetic information or citizenship status or any other characteristic protected by law. Harassment and other forms of discrimination will not be tolerated at any MLPOA-related events, regardless of whether such conduct is illegal under local law in the jurisdiction in which the conduct occurs. Any person who is subject to harassment or discrimination, or witnesses such behaviour
“Harassment” for purposes of the Code of Conduct includes any physical, verbal or non-verbal conduct toward another person that creates an intimidating, hostile, humiliating or offensive environment, as viewed from the perspective of a reasonable person with the same characteristics as that other person or otherwise. An aggregation of less serious incidents can constitute harassment, even if one of the incidents considered on its own might not be harassment. Harassment can be physical, spoken or written, and in-person or through other means, such as email or social media. Harassment could be: verbal (for example, epithets, derogatory statements, slurs, derogatory comments, or jokes); physical (for example, assault or inappropriate or nonconsensual physical contact); visual (for example, displaying derogatory posters, cartoons, drawings, or making derogatory gestures); or online or by email (for example, derogatory statements or sexually suggestive social media postings).
In particular, all Parties are prohibited from engaging in sexual harassment. Sexual harassment for purposes of the Code of Conduct means any harassment based on a person’s sex, sexual orientation, gender or gender identity or expression. Sexual harassment includes unwelcome conduct which is either of a sexual nature or which is directed at an individual because of that individual’s sex. Sexual harassment may include a range of subtle or not-so-subtle behaviours and may involve individuals of the same or different gender, gender identity or orientation. Sexual harassment can be physical and/or psychological in nature and also, includes harassment that is not sexual in nature (for example, offensive remarks about an individual’s sex, sexual orientation, physical appearance or affect, gender or gender identity) as well as sexual solicitation, physical advances, or verbal or nonverbal conduct that is sexual in nature.
Retaliation
No person shall engage in acts of retaliation, or threats of retaliation, against any individual who, in good faith, reports any suspected discrimination, harassment or any other violation of this Code. MLPOA will not tolerate any kind of reprisal, intimidation, or retaliation for reporting in good faith any suspected violation(s) of this Code of Conduct; pursuing any complaint or claim under this Code of Conduct; cooperating in any related investigations; or otherwise opposing conduct in violation of this Code of Conduct. Any person who becomes aware of any instance or threat of retaliation in violation of this Code of Conduct should report the incident to the president of MLPOA in writing within 7 days of its occurrence.
