  • ACCESS Draft Code of Conduct:

  • The ACCESS program staff and participants are committed to fostering a welcoming and inclusive environment for learning, inquiry, constructive discussion, respectful exchange, and intellectual freedom—regardless of ability, appearance, or identification with any group. We do not tolerate personal attacks, intimidation, disruptive behavior, or harassment in any form. Sexual, racist, or other identity-based offensive language and imagery is not appropriate for any venue, including meetings, talks, workshops, social events, chat, nor in any digital communication. As a virtual organization, formal policy exists for ACCESS staff as provided by their home institutions. ACCESS staff are expected to be cognizant of and comply with their institutional policies. ACCESS program and event participants, i.e., those not directly funded by the ACCESS awards, found violating these rules will be sanctioned or expelled from these activities at the discretion of program organizers.

  • Should the chair of the researcher advisory board be considered for being a member of the EC; this could be either a voting or non-voting membership

• Tie votes:

  • The charter currently does not address the potential to break ties in votes. The current language indicates 50% of the voting members is sufficient to provide for a successful vote in support of passing a resolution.
