The Samvera community is dedicated to providing a welcoming and | ||
positive experience for all its members, whether they are at a formal | ||
gathering, in a social setting, or taking part in activities online. | ||
The Samvera community welcomes participation from people all over the | ||
world and these members bring with them a wide variety of | ||
professional, personal and social backgrounds; whatever these may be, | ||
we treat colleagues with dignity and respect. | ||
|
||
Community members communicate primarily in English, though for many of | ||
them this is not their native language. We therefore strive to express | ||
ourselves simply and clearly remembering that unnecessary use of | ||
jargon and slang will be a barrier to understanding for many of our | ||
colleagues. We are sensitive to the fact that the international | ||
nature of the community means that we span many different social norms | ||
around language and behaviour and we strive to conduct ourselves, | ||
online and in person, in ways that are unlikely to cause offence. | ||
|
||
Samvera conversations are often information-rich and intended to | ||
generate discussion and debate. We discuss ideas from a standpoint of | ||
mutual respect and reasoned argument. | ||
|
||
Community members work together to promote a respectful and safe | ||
community. In the event that someone’s conduct is causing offence or | ||
distress, Samvera has a detailed | ||
[Anti-Harassment Policy and Protocol](https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/samvera/Anti-Harassment+Policy) | ||
which can be applied to address the problem. The first step in dealing | ||
with any serious misconduct is to contact a local meeting organizer, | ||
the | ||
[Samvera community helpers](https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/samvera/Samvera+Community+Helpers) | ||
([email](mailto:[email protected])), a community member you | ||
trust, or the | ||
[Samvera Steering Group](https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/samvera/Samvera+Steering+Group+membership) | ||
immediately; at Samvera events, these people can be identified by | ||
distinctive name badges. The | ||
[Policy and Protocol](https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/samvera/Anti-Harassment+Policy) | ||
should be consulted for fuller details. |
