| Make Agreements | | |||||||
|  
| Making agreements and commitments to one another is one of the most important things that reflective communities can do to create relationships of "mutual trust, active empathy, access to help, lenience to judgment, and courage." While these important dimensions of community will evolve over time, agreements set the initial conditions for how the community will behave and work together. These agreements will include practical matters such as how often the community will meet face-to-face or in phone conferences, how long members can expect to wait for a response to an email, or how long a member can be absent from participation before they are prompted to return. Some agreements may be more sensitive, such as when the community might ask a member to resign from the community. While it is essential to develop agreements early, it is also inevitable that the community will find that it needs to make additional agreements and commitments as its work proceeds and as it matures. Reflections 1. What kind of guidelines will the community develop for meetings-- types, frequency, and behaviors? 2. What kind of personal commitments for time, contribution and behavior are members expected to make? 3. What roles and responsibilities are required in the community and how will they be allocated? 4. What kind of rules will the community make related to continuing membership in the community? Actions Review the information at Roles and Responsibilities, Agreements and Commitments, and Dissolving Conflict. Then, in conversation, develop and document your community’s own agreements and commitments. This document will be used for regular reflections in The Commons, and will come in handy should any misunderstandings or conflicts arise. Be sure to revisit your agreements from time to time as conditions change for your community, and as new members join you in your work.
