Guests are welcome, and should contact the Chair in advance. Members are ready to lead discussions of assigned agenda items. Members respect everyone s right to speak and be listened to without interruption. Members allow constructive criticism of their ideas or proposals as part of the group process. It does not mean that the decision is necessarily everyone s first choice, but that all members commit to working toward the implementation of the decision and not obstructing its implementation.
