Project idea[edit]
What is the problem you're trying to solve?[edit]
If someone has a harassment-related problem, there is no one in the organization they can go to who understands how these issues are usually handled.
What is your solution?[edit]
We need a person who is a focal point for these issues, who reports to the ED.
Goals[edit]
For an earlier discussion of a similar proposal, see Harassment consultation 2015/Ideas/Hire a harassment expert.

Endorsements[edit]
- Harassment must be treated by experts, not by anyone. Solve these problems with the community means to entrust very delicate and complex issues to inexperienced and unqualified persons. In these matters experts are called facilitators. Luca Polpettini (talk) 22:15, 22 June 2016 (UTC)
