NetHui is New Zealand's multi-stakeholder web conference on Internet governance and policy issues. NetHui 2014's statement of kaupapa, which also appears on the NZNOG website, reads:

A respectful open attitude towards others is expected from all participants, speakers, exhibitors and volunteers. Harassment of any kind will not be tolerated and may result in your removal from the event.
