* Legal Compliance: Proposals should adhere to all applicable laws and regulations. This includes avoiding any activities or initiatives that are illegal or unethical.
* Non-discrimination: Proposals should not discriminate against individuals or groups based on race, ethnicity, gender, religion, age, or any other protected characteristic. Encourage fairness and equal opportunity.
* Respectful Communication: Proposals should promote respectful and professional communication. This includes avoiding offensive or inflammatory language, personal attacks, and disrespectful behavior.
* Ethical Considerations: Proposals should take into account ethical considerations, such as ensuring the safety and well-being of individuals involved, respecting privacy, and considering the environmental impact.
* Non-political: To maintain focus on our project goals, avoid proposals that are directly related to politics or that promote any specific political agenda.
* Budget and Financial Responsibility: Proposals should include a realistic budget and demonstrate financial responsibility. This involves accurate cost estimates, transparency in financial management, and avoiding wasteful or extravagant expenditures.
* Feasibility and Impact: Proposals should be feasible, practical, and have a clear impact on our intended goals. Consider including criteria that assess the viability and potential success of the proposed project.
