ATypI's board has issued a statement apologising for how it communicated after a July request to remove a speaker from its Sharjah conference, a request it declined on legal advice. It says critics restricted on its social channels were restored and that criticism will no longer be treated as abuse. A member consultation on participation standards and the Code of Conduct opens in November, with its process and timetable due by 30 November.
an unreserved apology is a start; the consultation's timetable, due this month, will show whether members get a real say.
