ACL Professional Conduct Committee Volunteer Application
The ACL Executive Board has established procedures to follow when a complaint is raised under the ACL’s anti-harassment policy (https://www.aclweb.org/adminwiki/index.php?title=Anti-Harassment_Policy).  PCC members have the role of fielding complaints, working towards informal mediation where appropriate, and carrying out investigations, possibly resulting in formal sanctions, when necessary. PCC members serve three-year (renewable) terms.

We now call for new volunteers to serve on the PCC.  Prior to acceptance onto the committee, volunteers are required to successfully participate in training in mediation and complaint-resolution methods and techniques that will be offered online as a sequence of three 2½-hour sessions.  The training, by Anne Grant of Mediated Solutions Inc (http://mediatedsolutions.ca/aeg.html), is offered by the ACL without charge.  The sessions will be held from 14:30 to 17:00 UTC (to accommodate disparate timezones) on Thursday 1 April, Tuesday 6 April, and Thursday 8 April 2021.

In order for the committee to function effectively, it must include a diversity of perspectives and experiences. In addition to questions about your understanding of the role of anti-harassment policies and this committee, this form accordingly asks you various demographic questions.  Information collected in this form will be stored in a Google drive account associated with the University of Washington and viewed by Graeme Hirst, Emily M. Bender, and Anne Grant as well as potentially by members of the ACL Executive Committee. It will not be shared beyond that.

Minoritized status
At the level of an international organization, it is unclear what categories pertaining to race or ethnicity are appropriate to consider.  Accordingly, we are using the distinction minoritized (treated as a minority) / not minoritized (treated as normative/majority).  In addition, we are interested in other types of minoritization such as sexual orientation.

If yes, for which identity categories?
During your education or career prior to your current affiliation, has there ever been a significant period time during which you were minoritized? *
