NARIX believes in creating environments that align with shared community values defined here: https://www.narix.org/values.

NARIX policies are available here: https://www.narix.org/

NARIX is committed to holding itself and its steering committee members accountable to our values and to the polices we've adopted. If an attendee or community member experienced harm as a result of NARIX's actions or decisions and wants to seek accountability or repair, this form can initiate a mediation process.
 
Information submitted on this form will not be shared directly with steering committee members unless you request it to be. This form goes to Misha Bonaventura, of http://www.clearingconversations.com, a professional mediator who NARIX has a relationship with to help handle accountability work. Misha's fees are paid for by NARIX.

Here's what happens when a report is submitted:

The mediator will read through the report and assess the circumstances of the incident and the requests of the reporter. If the person reporting just wants information to be provided to the steering committee, and/or a policy change, the organizational will begin work on that issue.

If the person reporting would like a more in depth mediation process, NARIX will pay the fees for the mediator and the process will begin when all parties are ready.

A typical mediation process includes the following steps:

1) The mediator will reach out to all parties to coordinate logistics for the conversations that will take place

2) The mediator will initially meet with both parties to get a sense of their experience and perspective and prepare for the group session

3) The mediator will guide the group through a session to discuss the issues and work towards resolution and repair.

4) On a case by case basis, additional meetings or follow up conversations may be appropriate.
