​

Members must also refrain from any unauthorized recording of personal conversations, images, meetings, or activities with other members or staff and not create, store, share, or distribute created likeness of any person(s) without prior knowledge or permission. We also expect all members to respect the intellectual property rights of other Members. The above extends to both digital interactions and interactions at 2.0 Collective events.

Members waive the right to inspect or approve any finished content product in which their likeness appears and waive any right to royalties or other compensation arising or related to the use of the content. All content shall become the property of The 2.0 Collective. 

​

8. Solicitation

One of the core 2.0 values is “democratize career support” - the purpose of The 2.0 Collective is to uplift and support each other in any way possible. Members of the community are likely to give out advice and even services (design, engineering, etc) for free. This creates a great environment for collaboration but there are a few things we like for members to keep in mind:

​

For people asking for advice/services:

​

• Don't ask for more than quick feedback or advice (15-30 min)

• Reciprocate, pay it forward legibly, and show your appreciation

​

For people with advice/services to offer:

​

• Do not charge for advice - pay it forward

• If someone wants you to do a significant amount of work for them:

  • Tell them you can't (if you want to protect your time)

• If you are interested in sharing your services or products with members of The 2.0 Collective, please send an email to opportunity@the20.co with details about your business and the best way to contact you. 

​

Opportunity Partners must be pre-approved by The 2.0 Collective Team before being added to the Pipeline. This keeps our community members safe and ensures a personalized experience when using the Opportunity Pipeline.

​

The 2.0 Collective has a zero tolerance policy for solicitation. Any member who violates the terms of their agreement will be liable to have their membership terminated immediately upon review. If you feel you are being solicited to, please send an email to safety@the20.co.

​

9. Conflict

In order to make The 2.0 Collective a safe, conflict-free place, the following is recommended:

​

• Members should not disparage or spread rumors about other members

• If a situation arises that becomes severe between members and is in violation of our zero-tolerance policies it can be reported to safety@the20.co.

 

 

Global Community Rules

​

10. Participation

The 2.0 Collective Members should be active participants in digital spaces and in person events that they choose to attend. 

​

11. Ask for Help 

If a Member feels lost or unable to utilize the resources around them to their benefit, it’s their responsibility to reach out to the The 2.0 Collective team or other Members for help. Others can only provide support if Members let them know.

​

12. Integrity

The 2.0 Collective expects Members to understand and maintain high standards of integrity. Breaches of integrity include, but are not limited to, inappropriate collaboration, intellectual property including copyright infringement, acts of bad faith, broken promises or contracts, and mistruths or false representations.

​

Collaboration is at the core of everything we do at The 2.0 Collective. However, it’s possible that the motives of each party entering into a relationship may not be fully, and transparently disclosed to the other.

​

For example, if two parties are exploring ideas in adjacent spaces, each should be transparent in their interests, each giving the other the opportunity to reserve or withhold “proprietary” information about their plans and aspirations until a further relationship of trust is developed.

​

If one party intentionally misleads or withholds information about their intentions for the purposes of extracting further information about the other’s plans, this could be found to be Inappropriate Collaboration. If a Member is caught inappropriately collaborating, a member of the The 2.0 Collective team will evaluate the situation.

​

13. Respect

The 2.0 Collective is fortunate to have Members, guests, and staff from a wide range of extremely diverse backgrounds. Members are expected to do their part to make The 2.0 Collective a welcoming place to learn and connect with others by encouraging, and offering support to those around them. Members can contribute to creating a positive experience for everyone by being respectful in all communication.

​

14. Professionalism

The 2.0 Collective is a professional environment, and it is expected that Members act accordingly. Respect, accountability, and open communication are crucial.

​

Professionalism should be a theme that runs through a Member's work and interactions at The 2.0 Collective. In particular, professionalism is expected when posting in internal channels, participating in academic and social discussion, and via posts, comments, questions, and responses to others in addition to at physical events.

​

• Being disrespectful towards others (Members, The 2.0 Team, Strategists, etc.)

• Being a disruption to the community

• Spreading false information and rumors about Members, The 2.0 Team, or Strategists.

• Providing feedback in ways other than directed (for example, in a group or public channels, or otherwise outside the scope of where feedback was directed by the program)

• Spamming Members, The 2.0 Team, or Strategists.

• Shopping for different answers (for example DM’ing multiple staff and/or guests searching for an answer different than what you were given by another staff or guest)

Policies in the Global Community Rules may be enforceable for incidents that happen outside of The 2.0 Collective (physical or digital spaces and programs) that affect the The 2.0 Collective community, for example, external meet-ups, or on social media pages such as Instagram or Twitter.

The 2.0 Collective cannot be held liable for anything that happens in the physical or digital spaces that we do not govern. However, if brought to our attention, The 2.0 Collective reserves the right to further investigate a Member for violations of the Global Community Rules taking place in non-The 2.0 Collective spaces.

16. Non-Discrimination & Harassment

​

18. Help us Keep Everyone Safe – Reporting Rule Violations

If you as a Member are ever uncomfortable about community interaction, please let us know by submitting a report. If someone brings concerning behavior to our attention, the 2.0 Team will work to determine if the behavior may be a violation of the Collective Code of Conduct. If it is determined that there is an alleged violation, we will notify the Member(s) accused, and remove them from the community.

​

When deciding the appropriate action to take, we consider the severity of the incident, additional information (such as past behavioral history), and any additional context we may have. Actions taken to prevent future occurrences may be educational in nature (such as a success plan) or may include membership termination for parties involved.

​

Members who believe they have been discriminated against or subjected to harassment in accessing The 2.0 Collective's programs or activities should contact The 2.0 Collective. Complaints can be handled confidentially at the option of the submitter. If you see or hear something in our premises or digital spaces at any time that you think may violate our Collective Code of Conduct, please send an email to safety@the20.co.
