Metrowest Norms

General:

• Assume good will
• When you have to disagree, express it with great courtesy and care
• Respect others/golden rule [do unto others as you would have them do unto you]
• We need humor for this work

Meeting-related:

• “Step Up” if you tend to speak very little. “Step Back” if you tend to speak a lot.
• One mouth. One mic. Silence cell phones. No side conversations.
• Stay on topic. Add other issues to a ‘Bike rack’ for later.
• Signal when context is required.
• Keep in mind frontline communities.
