Dialogue Rubric:
After having more than a month to come up with a set of rules that will set the standards of our behavior at the MPC we came up with these rules that to my opinion we have picked them up pretty quickly and have improved so much.
It's very important that this rules often evolve and don't set them in stone, because we later on might find them no longer useful to have them expressed tacitly, they have already been inherent in us.
