Code of Conduct. Our rules and procedures.

In one line

Be a leader.

Respect people, respect privacy, and remember we’re mostly not-for-profit.

If something’s wrong

Talk, then escalate.

Ask people to stop. Can’t resolve it? Contact the Administrators.

Report an incident

Confidential. We respond as promptly as we can.

01

Respect

Be considerate, kind, constructive and helpful.

The alphalist CTO Community is a network for connecting top CTOs. We recognize and celebrate the creativity and collaboration of our independent members and the diversity of skills, talents, experiences, cultures, and opinions that they bring to our community. The alphalist CTO Community is an inclusive environment, based on treating all individuals respectfully, regardless of gender or gender identity (including transgender status), sexual orientation, age, disability, nationality, ethnicity, religion (or lack thereof), political affiliation, or career path.

We value respectful behavior above individual opinions.

Respectful behavior includes but is not limited to:

  • Be considerate, kind, constructive, and helpful.

  • Avoid demeaning, discriminatory, harassing, hateful, or physically threatening behavior, speech, and imagery.

  • If you’re not sure, ask someone instead of assuming. No, really. Just ask the Administrators. We’d rather hear from you than hear about something you said or did after the fact, and we are here to help.

  • Don’t be a bystander, be a leader. Role model respectful behaviour, but also help to address disrespectful behavior when you see it.

Disrespectful behavior outside this community by active members may be considered a violation of this code of conduct at the discretion of the Administrators.
