1. Showing compassion and understanding for others
2. Showing respect for other people's experiences, perspectives, and opinions
3. Offering and graciously taking constructive criticism
4. Taking accountability, expressing regret to others impacted by our errors, and drawing lessons from the encounter&#x20;

### Unacceptable conduct examples include:

1. The use of sexualized terminology or images, as well as any form of sexual solicitations or attention
2. Insults, disparaging remarks, and political or personal assaults
3. Harassment in public or private
4. Disseminating another person's personal data, including an email address or physical address, without that person's express consent
