As an open DAO, we are faced with a unique challenge that anyone can join in and start talking.
Norms:
- Assume good intent - sometimes tone and meaning is hard to convey over text
- Be open to giving and receiving feedback
- When sharing feedback, ask the other person if they are open to receiving it. Share it with the intent of helping them grow.
- Discuss the merit of ideas, not people. (For example, you can say an idea doesn’t make sense, but you should not a person is dumb)
- Eliminate gossip - you can do your part by refusing to engage or suggesting that the gossiper brings up the issue directly with the subject.
- Be constructive. Tell people how they could improve their projects or communication. Don’t troll.
- Share projects and why they are cool, but don’t shill.
