Dear Colleagues -

 

Several recent interactions on PDP working group calls and mailing lists
have been referred to the GNSO Chairs (Heather, Donna, and I).  After
review, our level of concern is such that we felt a refresher on ICANN's
Expected Standards of Behavior was warranted.  A link to this document is
provided below, but in general terms we are asking all participants in PDP
working groups to elevate the level of discourse on calls and mailing lists
to reflect a respectful and professional environment for our work.  

 

With this in mind, don't attack fellow volunteers personally, or question
their motives, or presume to know their positions without giving them a
chance to present it.  Humor (especially sarcasm) doesn't go over well in
emails or AC chat sessions, and usually doesn't translate at all.  Refrain
from escalating or retaliating to negative comments.  And, above all,
remember that our shared objective is not to "win" on any given issue, but
to seek out and build upon areas of common understanding. 

 

The Expected Standards of Behavior can be found here:

I know we're all accustomed to just "click through" this text when joining a
meeting, but I'm now asking everyone take a minute to two to review it
again.

 

Thank you for your help with this matter.

 

J.
