Ground Rules for EO Seattle Slack Workspace Communications

EO Seattle has adopted Slack—a digital communications tool that supports collaboration, information sharing, and conversations—to create a strong platform for chapter communications.

Guidelines for Engagement and Behavior

·       Posts will conform to EO standards of confidentiality, courtesy, trust and respect, and fair dealing

·       No political opinions or discussions

·       No solicitations

·       No behavior or speech that is discriminatory or harassing

Please note that all EO engagements fall under the global Code of Conduct guidelines. Behavior outside these guidelines will be escalated according to the CoC.

Mindset & Best Practices for EO Digital Citizenship

“Tweet others the way you want to be tweeted.”

·       Treat shared social spaces like a giant Thanksgiving dinner--be civil, no politics or religion, be helpful and pass the peas, and try to have fun!

·       Be a positive part of the community.

·       Remember that responses help everyone, not just the person asking the question.

·       Advice is OK in this space, but please make sure it is requested, and that you share the context for how you learned what informs your advice.

·       Use Threads to help keep topics organized and more searchable.

·       If you see a personal conflict start to develop between you and a fellow member, take the conversation offline and work toward an understanding.

·       Ask questions in a spirit of curiosity and with a Forum mindset.

·       Any and all posts are subject to deletion at any time by chapter leadership without warning.

When in doubt, we will err on the side of civility and professionalism. This is not a platform for debate but for connection, mutual support, and information-sharing.

About Our Channels

·       Don’t see a Channel and want to spin one up? Feel free to shoot requests for new channels to comms@eoseattle.org.

·       Want to set up a private, locked channel for your forum or another sub-group? Please coordinate set up and members with our Chapter Manager, Lindsay.

·       We will be coordinating SAP-sponsored channels where members can “opt in” to the discussion with the understanding that it is a quasi-solicitation channel since it is moderated by an SAP.
