It is important that members of our leadership groups (TSC, CommComm) act
in a way that not only complies with the
[Code of Conduct](https://github.com/nodejs/TSC/blob/master/CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md)
but that supports the vision, mission and operating principles of the Node.js project.

It is understood that members will have individual opinions and are encouraged
to express those opinions during discussions within the organization. While

discourse is encouraged internally, members also have the obligation outside
of the organization (for example in social media) to be respectful of the
decisions made within the projects's documented processes even (and especially)
if the results run counter to their person point of view. A member who does
not support a team decision or current team value may express the member's
opposition within the team in an appropriate manner, but must be extremely
careful when expressing the opinion externally. External communication must
not be done with the intent of undermining a decision, project values, or
actions of the team. If another team member expresses that they believe external
communications appear to have the intent to undermine the committee
it is the responsibility of the individual expressing their opinions to rectify
the situation immediately. If a member feels that there is no recourse aside
from going public to campain against the teams decision on an extremely
contentious issue then they should resign from the team before doing so.

Members of our leadership groups must also conduct themselves in a
professional and respectful manner. Some general guidelines include:

- Serve as ambassadors of the vision, mission and operating
principles of the Node.js project.

any damage done.

- Aim to remediate first and then discuss. If other members of the
team express concerns about actions, acknowledge their concerns by
stopping the actions in question and then discuss within the team
to come to a common agreement.
- Treat all community members with respect, consideration, and highest
standards of ethical conduct.
- Valuing a diversity of views and opinions. Strive to avoid preferential

treatment, and hold everyone (including ourselves) accountable to the same
set of standards. Everyone gets to speak up.
- Deal with issues directly with the person in question. Resist complaining
about others in the project in a public sphere.
- Build trust by keeping your promises.
- Be the model of accountability and leadership. Provide the example of
ownership and stewardship that everyone can follow to success.
- Commit to ongoing development and learning best practices for governing.
- Critique ideas rather than individuals, discussing any concerns in person

Finally, the public behavior of members reflects on the Node.js project. It is
often difficult for those external to the project to separate actions which
reflect the members private views from how they will act within
the project. Members are expected to avoid acting in a way that might bring
disrepute to the Node.js organization and avoid any actions that might be
interpreted as undermining the core values of the project.
