We ask that all group members:

Be friendly and welcoming

Listen with purpose and create space for others' communication preferences.
Ask yourself how you can make someone life easier.

Be patient

Remember that people have varying communication styles and preferences.
Recognise that not everyone is using their native language. Meaning and tone can be lost in translation.

Be thoughtful

Think about how others will interpret your words. Aim for clear and productive communication.
Remember that sometimes it is best to refrain from commenting.

Be respectful and inclusive

Respect differences of opinion.
Seek to understand and build bridges, not condemn or criticise.
Make a conscious effort to include people who differ from you.

Be open and curious

Assume good intent and interpret others' statements or questions in good faith.
Ask questions to understand, not denounce.
Focus on continuous learning. Improve upon the things you already know, tackle new things, and ask others about their expertise to deepen your own knowledge.
