## Participation guidelines

- Please focus on listening, and on appreciating what others are trying to say, not only on what you are hearing.
- Wherever possible, please refrain from multitasking on email or social media and strive to remain fully present and tuned in to what others are saying and feeling.
- Please assume best intent in everyone’s comments and strive to keep a constructive tone in your own.
- Please use simple, accessible language. In particular, please avoid jargon and acronyms, so that all may fully participate.
- When you speak, please make just one point and then let others speak. We want everyone to have an equal chance to speak. In a group of “n” people, speak no more than “1/nth” of the time.
- Please speak for yourself when making comments, using “I”. Please don’t speak for the assembled group by speaking as “we”.
