To: John Dyer Subject: RE: TERENA Gender Action Plan, Statement of intent TERENA does not have an explicit Gender Action Plan within its own terms and conditions of employment. We do however follow the Dutch law that prohibits discrimination. I am happy to submit the GAP statement of intent as follows. TERENA is committed to the principle of equal opportunity in employment i.e. * to promoting equality in the treatment of members of its personnel regardless, inter alia, of sex, ethnic origin, physical handicap, sexual orientation or religion; * to ensure fair treatment in all recruitment and promotion actions; * to provide a professional environment free of discrimination or harassment and enable all personnel to work in an atmosphere of safety, dignity and mutual respect; * To promote policies and practices that encourage equality of opportunity in all respects.
