To ensure a smooth running of the workshop, participants should please take note of the following rules:
• Ensure to mute yourself once you are admitted into the meeting. Background noise and conversations constitute a huge distraction for our speakers and other participants.
• Ensure that your video feed is turned off at all times, except when you are called upon to speak or ask a question. Poor network connections can be a real snag and turning off your video feed would help reduce problems associated with poor network connections.
• Questions and conversations should be respectful and not “confrontational”. We expect lively, but civillised conversations.
• If for some unforeseen reason the meeting ends abruptly (especially if by some stroke of bad luck, poor network kicks out the meeting host and co-hosts), do not panic. Simply wait for two minutes and try to re-enter the meeting.
