Rules

The following ground rules will emailed around to WMF staff prior to the start of the deliberations:

1. FDC meeting participants should not talk with WMF staff who are not taking part in the meeting about the applications under consideration, or the FDC process as a whole, while the deliberations are taking place.
2. The outcomes of the deliberations should not be shared with WMF staff or others that are not taking part in the meeting before they're publicly announced (by e.o.d on December 1).
3. Only those WMF staff members who are supporting the FDC with inputs should attend the meetings.
4. Others should kindly attempt to come into the meeting room once individual sessions or discussions are over to minimize disruptions.
5. These ground rules will also apply to any Wikimedia organization who hosts an FDC meeting. The host organization should not have its proposal under consideration during that particular round of deliberations.
