This working group is focused on developing a written set of community guidelines. According to consultant Annalee Flower Horne, "Community Guidelines communicate your community’s values and culture to new and existing community members. The reason to create specific guidelines instead of just saying 'be excellent to each other' or 'treat each other politely' is that there are a wide range of cultural norms across different communities–even micro-communities, like open source projects." Samvera has had pieces of such guidelines, but early versions have been lost over time and existing pieces need review and refreshing. This effort was originally in scope for the Community Safety Working Group active in 2021, but due to scheduling considerations, is now deferred and to be taken on by a spin-off Working Group in early 2022.
