NorthSec 2018 Badge note

NorthSec 2018 Badge note

missing rights-cleared image · policy decision · open

No 2018 badge image is published locally because explicit rights and provenance for a documentary photo or official raster render were not established in this pass.

The badge remains source-backed without violating the no-generated/no-placeholder image policy.
