Conflict resolution strategy #5

Closed diatomsRcool closed 4 years ago

diatomsRcool commented 4 years ago

In the Code of Conduct: Conflict resolution strategy. The Translator PIs have an established track record of numerous successful collaborations and expect to reach common agreement on management issues by thoroughly discussing and carefully considering the pros and cons of specific actions. It is thus expected that any differences of opinion will be resolved through constructive dialogue among all involved individuals. If those persons fail to resolve a dispute within seven (7) days, then the conflict shall be referred to an arbitration committee consisting of one impartial senior executive from each PI institution and an additional impartial senior executive mutually agreed upon by the PIs, both of whom will have no direct involvement in Translator or the dispute in question. Input also will be sought from the NCATS Program Officers during formation of the arbitration committee.

Michel Dumontier comments: "there should be some additional clarity on (i) in what way does one party indicate to the other party that they are in conflict, and (ii) whether and to what extent they pursue resolution of a dispute, and (iii) what constitutes successful resolution."

Brett Smith comments: "+1 I think that increasing clarity in enforcement can really make this a more effective document"

More clarity added as requested.
