Guidelines for respectful dialogue:
1. Express disagreement with ideas, not people
2. Share airtime
3. Stay on topic and build on what others have said
4. Listen to understand, especially when you disagree
5. Acknowledge what you’ve heard
6. Leave rank at the door—we are all equal here
7. Look for common ground
8. Identify and test assumptions

As always, we’re grateful for the care, expertise, and generosity you bring to this space.

Warm regards,
Kelly and Shannon
SGWG Co-Chairs
