  • Use of an alias or other person’s name that is not your own in the user profile or communication tool provided throughout the meeting.

Any participant who feels unsafe or experiences unwelcome conduct, observes or experiences unacceptable behavior, or believes there has been a violation of this Policy is encouraged to report the incident immediately to Amanda Barton, VP, Operations, at amanda.barton@conexiant.com, so that the appropriate action can be taken. No concern is too small—if you see or hear something, we encourage you to say something.

Consequences of Reported Unacceptable Behavior

GSLS reserves the right to take any action deemed necessary and appropriate in response to any incident of unacceptable behavior, including the immediate removal of the offending party from the meeting without warning or refund. GSLS also reserves the right to prohibit the offending party’s attendance at any future virtual or in-person meetings.
