There has been increased interest in the team social norms that were codified last year.  Deb Tankersley even gave a presentation to all tech managers referencing our work here (Thanks Deb!).  I have had a few things on my bucket list in regards to these as far as editing, and adding context I found myself consistently giving in casual conversation.

I'm hoping the team can reread these as they stand now and we can iterate on any inconsistencies I have unearthed :).  It has been the case thus far that I do the majority of the writing and ...some would say overt pontification :D but I'm hoping I have not strayed from our shared original purpose.

I like that you've added assume-good-faith to the 'propose a different path' but I don't like that it no longer says "don't do this thing".  Was there a particular concern with the original first sentence, 'If you have concerns about a proposal then help craft an alternative approach.'?  I like that it's straightforward and positively phrased.


I feel better about socializing this beyond our own borders now, and thanks to all of you for giving this credence to this point.  I think the 'no belittling' section could use a little polish but I hope to keep it around in general.  

Best,
