Section 3 Sharing space. Participants make space and take space by encouraging and yielding the floor to those whose viewpoints may be under-represented in a group, taking space made for you as you’re able. 

Section 4 Gracious Critique: Attendees who wish to voice complaints or grievances should do so constructively and respectfully, adhering to the established agenda and procedures. Individuals use welcoming language, accept critique graciously, and offer it constructively. 

Section 5 Accessibility. The council and participants will seek concrete ways to make physical spaces and online resources more universally accessible, to the best of their ability.

Section 6 Community care. Participants practice community care by maintaining an open mind, accepting differing viewpoints, and seeking to understand rather than defend in cases of disagreement. Attendees pay attention to the needs and welfare of those around them.
