Ground Rules Reminder The Stakeholder Group is most efficient when everyone maintains basic rules of civility. Let other people finish what they have to say, whether they are members of DCR, other group members, or consultants. We ask that you raise your hand to speak; we promise to get to you in a timely basis. Everyone will have an equal opportunity to participate in group discussions.
