An Agora is defined by its code of conduct or [[contract]]. It is of utmost importance for it to be well specified and understandable by all. Because of this we prefer explicit over implicit.

• A [[contract]] is a public list of [[assertions]].
  • Feel free to contribute corrections to this list by submitting patches to this file in the [[Agora repository]] or by providing guidance or feedback.
• Above all, be [[honest]]; be [[true]] to yourself.
• Try to be [[constructive]], [[kind]], [[rational]], and [[compassionate]].
  • When interacting with others, either directly or indirectly, please keep in mind and follow the [[principle of charity]].
  • When you disagree with someone, please prioritize achieving greater mutual understanding over winning an argument.
• If you made a mistake, apologize.
  • If someone made a mistake but then apologized thoroughly and made [[amends]] or [[reparations]], try to forgive them.
• Members of this [[Agora]] are free to volunteer their personal extensions to this list, according to their own set of values, by writing in this node.
  • The [[Agora]] can be forked at will and with no presumption of ill intent by a subset of the community whenever contracts become incompatible.
• This Agora is a repository of [[intents]].

If you do not yet belong to this Agora and would like to become involved, please refer to [[agora editor]] or reach out to [[flancian]], [[vera]], [[neil]], or any other of the member of the [[flancia collective]].

  • I endorse the base [[contract]] of this Agora (which is just [[an agora]]): https://anagora.org pull.
  • My [[intents]] and [[values]] as explicit [[lists]] of assertions; they can be assumed to include my declarations of [[knowledge]] and [[belief]] as expressed in [[notes]] and [[resources]] volunteered to this [[Agora]].
  • In my particular case these assertions are sometimes organized in [[trees]] and [[graphs]] using the structured allowances given by this [[agora]] as modelled in [[agora paper]], [[agora protocol]] and [[agora rfcs]].
  • I [[intend]] to dedicate a [[meaningful fraction]] of my [[free time]] and [[resources]] to improve the world.
    • #push [[manifesto]]
      • I am a [[Flancian]] and this is my [[manifesto]]:
        • In [[Flancia]] there is no [[poverty]].
        • In [[Flancia]] there is no [[privilege]].
        • In [[Flancia]] we will [[meet]].
    • Through this [[Agora]] I try to contribute to the development of a freer, open, progressive global society and projects or [[public utility]].
    • Because I am unskillful, I need your help. I am open to any [[feedback]] anytime. I am active on social media.

⚖️ I endorse the base contract of the agora in my doing and being here! 📜

I will shape my participation through what I think may be useful to others, and to [[cross pollinate]] from what others have shared.

I may be marginal, but I hope to be a slight marginal positive for the folks of the agora and its shared aims.

Contract

The formalization of a mutually beneficial relationship among or between two or more parties.

Issues to look out for:

• Was there mutual assent?
• Was there a mutual exchange of [[consideration]]? A completely one sided agreement is generally unenforceable, but there are exceptions (e.g., [[promissory estoppel]], or a [[promissory note]]).
• Was there an [[integration clause]] contained within a written agreement? If not, other evidence outside of the written agreement may be introduced if a dispute arises.

  • welcome back, Evan! happy to see you here. I think this is a good proposal, and it might make sense for some topics/rooms in general to have guidelines that actively steer people away from hot topics. but I'd like to think that we can avoid this yet right here right now; we are a pretty small group and I'm pretty sure we can have difficult conversations but learn from them. I would agree we need to define standards of civility when dealing with disagreement; this is actually a core goal of the Agora, even if unfortunately I have personally invested very little on this in the last two years! perhaps this is a good point to pick that back up? we could just node [[contract]] further to begin with.
