The core principle and community guidelines (CPCG) is aimed at governing DPF sponsored activities, including all facets of the Snowmass Process (e.g., remote and in person meetings, and all slack workspaces). A first complete draft can be found here. This is a living document that will be constantly improved upon as the circumstances dictate. Therefore, input from the community is welcome any time, either via comments in the doc, email to the DPF Ethics Advisory Committee (see below) or through this form, this form. Comments may be signed or anonymous. We ask that the comments to the CPCG follow the spirit of the CPCG and that the commentators keep in mind that our goal here is to improve on the CPCG .

We look forward to your input in crafting our community's principles and guidelines!
