We are, as a group, also not at IMC. Individuals may go. They too are terrible about addressing our security issues, and really after the debacle of the medieval dumpster summer of racism when "others" was the topic and somehow white men screaming at MOCs was considered a thing..
It is interesting to consider why the two big conferences, both have no democratic programming/organizing committee (or transparency about this), seem to be the ones that have the most difficulty in addressing security, inclusivity, and other concerns in Medieval Studies.

So the larger committee only makes recommendations and the 4-person committee connected to WMU makes the final say. So it's still not democratic.
