Many conference policies are strong on basic anti-harassment language but less explicit about the governance questions that arise once a policy can remove someone from a session, conference, or future professional opportunity.

Recurring blind spots include political-opinion protection, conduct-based standards that distinguish disagreement from harassment, evidence standards, respondent notice, appeal or review, recusal, bad-faith-report safeguards, complaints against organizers, responsible survey use, and viewpoint-neutral training standards.

FairConduct addresses these as ordinary policy-design problems. The goal is not to weaken conduct rules, but to make them more credible.
