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. Members take a system-wide perspective when considering issues and making decisions. Members confirm decisions made and how best to communicate them to everyone.
Members review and confirm assigned tasks.
Deadlines will be assigned for all issues and projects. In January, members will review the Working Agreement each year. This policy may be reviewed and changed, as necessary. Recorder duties will rotate alphabetically among members for six month terms starting in January and July. Minutes will be sent to AWG members via the listserv within three working days and to the Decision Digest within seven working days after the meeting.
