Code of Conduct
All member representatives (individuals participating in any Consortium
activities on the part of a member) are expected to behave in a collegial and
professional fashion in accordance with this Code of Conduct. As part of the
Consortium Membership Agreement, members agree to familiarize their
representatives with this Code of Conduct, require them to behave accordingly,
and agree to remove or replace a member representative who violates the Code
of Conduct if the Consortium so requests.
- Representatives of Consortium members agree to behave in a collegial and
professional fashion when engaged in Consortium Activities, in accordance with
the Membership Agreement and this Code of Conduct Behavior prejudicial to the
free and easy exchange of ideas and discourse, such as "flaming" on discussion
forums or overbearing attitudes on mailing lists and in meetings, is considered
inappropriate and unprofessional.
- Representatives of Consortium Members appointed to serve as Chairs or Co-Chairs
of Consortium Committees are expected to actively conduct the business of their
committees in a fair and impartial fashion and to ensure that their organization
supports their work in chairing the committee.
- Representatives of Consortium members are welcome to discuss or present the
Consortium and its activities at external events or activities such as discussion
forums, but shall not imply or suggest that they speak officially for the Consortium.
- Representatives of Consortium members shall abide by the Consortium
Intellectual Property Rights Policy with respect to proprietary and
confidential information of their members in the course of Consortium activities.
- Representatives of Consortium members shall not disclose in-progress
work or activities of the Consortium which are deemed private to the Consortium
and its participants. In-progress work or activities that are covered by this
clause include, but are not limited to, draft meeting minutes, draft position
papers, draft questionnaires, and draft announcements. Consortium members often
participate in directly related work taking place within standards organizations
such as the IETF, W3C, or OASIS and these activities remain subject to the
intellectual property rules and disclosure rules of the relevant standards bodies.
- Violations of the Code of Conduct on the part of an individual may ultimately
result in the individual being asked to leave a meeting, be suspended from some
or all Consortium activities, or the Member asked to remove the individual from
further involvement with the Consortium.
