Our Community Pledge

Code Of Contribution
Be Your Word
Do what you say you will do, when you say you will do it. If you are unable to guarantee you can meet a request, then say so and make a counter offer that you can deliver on or just hand it back. If during the course of carrying out something you realize circumstances are going to make you miss your commitment, say so immediately (see No Surprises).
Take Responsibility
We encourage everyone to make a contribution to the community. This doesn’t mean working when you shouldn’t or volunteering for things you don’t want to do. It means taking responsibility for yourself by understanding what kind of contribution you can make, protecting your own boundaries when needed, and being receptive to feedback from others.
No Surprises
To ensure we make transparency and honesty a priority we do not try to hide our mistakes or withhold information or opinions. We voice any concerns we have at the earliest opportunity. We ask every question in our mind, even the stupid ones – especially those, they are the most valuable.
Keep Your Ego in Check - We & Me.
No one person is more important than the collective. We are all fully committed to the shared objectives and to do whatever is required of us. We all have our own agendas but we do not seek status above others, and we do not get hung up on ourselves. No one is as smart as everyone.
Deliberately Development
As a purpose driven organization we each utilize our gifts and will confront our weaknesses in working together. We are as committed to our own personal development as human beings as we are to the purpose of the organization. As a group we support each other in our personal development.
Forgive Fast
We all make mistakes, and/or something goes wrong. We do not stay with the anger and frustration but forgive fast and commit ourselves to working on the solution. We don’t carry on playing the blame game or carrying resentment, we express our emotions and let them go, get support if needed (may involve swearing).
Argue The Issus not the Person
Conflict is inevitable in a diverse group of people, but we always criticize the issue being discussed and not the person raising it. No idea is above scrutiny, but personal criticism or unkindness can do lasting damage. We practice QTIP - Quit Taking It Personally.
Unlimited Imagination
There is nothing that is too silly, unrealistic, stupid or ridiculous. We let our imagination run free. Work on removing your limiting beliefs and constraints on your thinking and help others remove theirs. We encourage each other to push the boundaries, to think the unimaginable. There are 3 possible answers, yes, no and not now.
