Our Pledge
In the interests of fostering an open and welcoming environment, we as collaborators of ManyZoos pledge to make participation in our project and our community a welcoming, inclusive and safe experience for everyone. This experience is regardless of age, body size, disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender identity and expression, level of experience, education, socio-economic status, nationality, political perspective, status within the community, personal appearance, race, religion, sexual identity and orientation, or perceived thereof attributions.
We request that all participants adhere to the ManyZoos code of conduct, that is outlined below. We reserve the right to remove any delegate not adhering to the Code of Conduct from the ManyZoos consortium.
Our Standards
Examples of behavior that contribute to creating a positive environment include:
Our Responsibilities
The ManyZoos directors, committee leads, and project leads are responsible for clarifying the standards of acceptable behavior within relevant committees and projects and are expected to take appropriate and fair corrective action in response to any instances of unacceptable behavior. The ManyZoos leadership team have the right and responsibility to remove, edit, or reject comments, deal with issues, emails, social media posts, and other contributions that are not aligned to this Code of Conduct, or to ban temporarily or permanently any collaborator for other behaviors that they deem inappropriate, threatening, offensive, or harmful (physically or via damages to reputation).
Scope
This Code of Conduct applies within project spaces, social media avenues, professional events, and public spaces when an individual is representing ManyZoos, its community, or its research projects/intellectual property.
Enforcement
Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior may be reported by contacting the directors and/or project leads. All complaints will be reviewed and investigated and will result in a response that is deemed necessary and appropriate to the circumstances, ranging from discussion of these policies to expulsion from the group, including all mailing lists (either temporarily or permanently). It is at the complainant’s discretion to pursue additional action through other legal or institutional mechanisms. The directors and/or project leads are obligated to maintain confidentiality with regard to the reporter of an incident. Project leads who do not follow or enforce the Code of Conduct in good faith may face temporary or permanent repercussions as determined by the directors. Further details of specific enforcement policies may be posted separately.
Confidentiality
Project collaborators can reasonably expect their intellectual contributions to remain confidential and will not be distributed outside of meetings or documented outside of ManyZoos’s resources/files without prior permission from the relevant committee. Collaborators to the project are expected to maintain strict confidentiality regarding any information discussed during private meetings or project-related materials. The project’s standards must be upheld at all times, and any action that could potentially compromise its integrity should be avoided. Collaborators are urged to prioritize the project’s success and to act accordingly by adhering to the principles of confidentiality. Any questions or comments about confidentiality and sharing should be addressed to the directors and/or project leads.
