The Readercon concom has issued a public statement, which includes the following important points: 1) all five the Board members have resigned. 2) extensive and well-worded apologies are offered to Genevieve Valentine and Kate Kligman, to the Readercon community, and the wider SFF community; 3) pledges are made to do better in the future.
All these are good things. I am glad this has come to pass, because we need the field to shift, and such processes contribute to the shift in the field. Special kudos to

, who fought tooth and nail for this to be resolved.
