General

• Anything project-related discussions (to keep everyone informed) goes to project-related channels
  • ex: #food-distro-general, #food-distro-design, #food-distro-research, #food-distro-strategy….
• Write the dates as Month 00, instead of 00/00 to avoid confusion
  • American (MM/DD) vs. Global format (DD/MM)
• Write the times as 00:00 am/pm in a 12-hour format with time zones
• Be mindful of everyone's time zone
  • Most of us are based in Pacific to Eastern time zone
  • We have lots from all around the world (Europe, Asia, Oceanic, Africa)
• If you cannot attend a meeting or will miss a deadline, let your Lead know as soon as possible and follow up on what was discussed to stay in-the-know
• Meetings will be scheduled when 60% of the members can attend
  • They will be recorded as well as project documentation notes

Working Relationships

• Treat one another with dignity & respect
• Actively listen
• Be open-minded with all suggestions
• Celebrate your wins and losses!
• Learn from each other and be supportive
• EVERYONE is welcome to join all meetings
  • This will improve cross-functional interactions!

Conflict Resolution

• Before you jump to conclusions…
  • Seek to understand each other's perspectives
  • Try to resolve problems without playing the blame game
• If at any point you feel unheard nor recognized, please reach out to your immediate team Leads, or project Leads (Brenda / Joanne).
  • We are here to support each other, not attack each other.
