This working group is focused on developing an approach to the implementation of recommendations provided by Code of Conduct consultants contracted by Samvera in 2020-2021. The consultants are Sage Sharp/Otter Tech and Annalee Flower Horne.

Virtual meetings are held monthly, first Thursday of the month, during the period that the working group is active.
Updates on working group activity are shared via the samvera-community@googlegroups.com email list.
