- **Be nice**: we are all part of the same community, so be friendly, be welcoming, and generally be a nice person. Be someone that other people want to be around.

- **Be respectful and constructive**: We're a diverse group (from all over Tunisia!), so we're not going to agree all the time.

Don't get into fights, don't make personal attacks, don't vent or rant unconstructively. __Everyone__ should take responsibility for the community and take the initiative to diffuse tension and stop a potential flamewar, fight or negative thread _as early as possible_.

Since you want to separate respectful from constructive, you might want as well separate them from the text itself? Hence Remember to be respectful *and constructive* with your communication to your fellow Mozillians.

Take the initiative to diffuse tension and stop a potential flamewar, fight or negative thread _as early as possible_. doesn't look like it falls in the "constructive" basket but I think we can let it slide.

No one has the right to share our internal misunderstanding in public.: probably you'd want to lower the tone a little? Something like If there is a misunderstanding or an issue going on, we invite you to avoid communicating it publicly or on social networks, and if you feel like the situation is reaching a deadend and no one in the community is showing good intentions, have a staff member that you feel comfortable talking to about the matter give you an advice on how to handle it.


- **Be collaborative**: Work together! We can learn a lot from each other. Share knowledge, update the etherpads, help each other out.
