Lab Policies

FamiLAB Official Policies

Introduction

As FamiLAB grows, we have to more clearly communicate our culture to new members, and set limits to manage risks to our community and better define being excellent to each other.

We do this with community policies, which set expectations for our community, and empower each of us to uphold those expectations without worrying if we are expressing a personal preference over what the community agrees is acceptable.

Law Violation Policy

TL;DR: If it's illegal outside the lab, it's illegal inside the lab.

FamiLAB complies with all Federal, State, and Local laws.

• Law Violations Tolerance:

*Mindful of the normalcy of certain illegal acts i.e. the torrenting (although unacceptable, termination of membership is a case-by-case)
*If there is intent - suggested zero tolerance rule
*If there is not intent - case by case basis for knowing the illegality of an act

• FamiLAB encourages our members to do the same.

*Empowerment Clause - If a member sees someone doing something to violate the law, that member should know it’s against policy here and they should be empowered to deal with it themselves in order to protect the community or approach the board without repercussions
