The Learning Group is convened over four, two-hour virtual meetings, and participants will complete two ~15-minute surveys during the research project outside of these meetings. The exact dates of these sessions will be chosen with the first 10 participants, and will fall in (1) September/October, (2) November/December, (3) March/April, and (4) May/June.
This Participant Agreement (“Agreement”), is effective as of today's date* day of month* , 2022.

Participant Commitments

In order to participate, please acknowledge your consent to the following terms.
Collective Representation

The Participant agrees to represent their particular role and company interests during the Learning Group activities, while taking into account that they also represent their larger role in the overall textiles economy.
In Learning Group sessions, I agree to both represent my organization's interests, and consider the larger context of our role in the overall textiles economy.*

YesNo
Prepared to Participate Fully

For the best outcomes, the Learning Group sessions require full participation of all attendees. As a virtual Zoom event, full participation involves having (1) stable internet (2) access to microphone and ideally video capabilities and (3) ability to unmute microphone to contribute to conversations as needed.
I agree to show up to the Learning Group Sessions ready to participate fully; having access to a relatively quiet place with stable internet connection allowing video and audio participation.*

YesNo
Backup Attendance Plan

Each Learning Group session builds on the previous and leads into the next. To fully engage, it's vital that someone from the organization attends all sessions, and ideally this is the same person. In case your primary contact can't attend one of the sessions, please commit here to (1) identifying a proxy, who can be your secondary contact, or another person in the organization, and (2) briefing them on work done to date, to the extent feasible. That proxy is asked to also share back progress made in the session to the primary attendee so that they are up to speed moving forward. Ideally the main attendee and proxy have some decision making power or insight into decision-making processes within the organization to inform proposed actions.
We agree to do our utmost to attend all four Learning Group Sessions; if our primary contact cannot attend, we agree to appoint a proxy from our organization and exchange preparatory and followup materials to get everyone on the same page.

I agree
Sharing Outcomes

The TLC stewards our research to ensure that the vast majority of knowledge we collaboratively produce is made available open-source with shareable attribution. This helps our outcomes reach the widest possible audience! By participating, you agree to act on this IP which means, at a minimum, please confirm that you will share back relevant outcomes from the Learning Group and final Report with your team and greater organization.
In agreeing to participate, I agree to share back outcomes from the Learning Group, and the results of the Roadmap (report and other written materials) with my team and organization.*

I agree

Legal Agreement

Please note the informal explanations contained here are provided for ease of reading and do not replace nor undermine the legal authority of the legalese, which you can refer to here on our website: https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f23141cb416363664830987/t/62f163cedfaf885f6a66180f/1659986894711/Participant+Agreement+Legalese+-+TLC+Roadmap+Learning+Group.pdf
Most of what the TLC says or does together with its partners is open-source, shareable with appropriate attribution. In some cases, certain information shared in Learning Group sessions may be timely, specific or currently unpublished and requires confidentiality. We wholly respect the need to do so and when this is required, we’ll state it explicitly if something we share is confidential. In that case, we ask that you will keep it to yourself as part of your participation agreement.*

I consentI do not consent
If any one of the terms of this Agreement is waived at any time for any reason, it does not influence any of the other terms of this Agreement. If at any point either of us don’t exercise a right we have under this agreement, that does not waive our other rights under this agreement.*

I consentI do not consent
We’re acting in good faith and working together for a shared goal, and it’s highly unlikely any party will experience damages at the hand of the other. If by any slim chance the Participant experiences damages due to its engagement with the TLC which are not otherwise resolvable through conflict mediation, the maximum liability for the TLC will be returning Participation Fees paid in the 6 months prior to any claim.*
