Code of conduct

The Auroville Council announced that attempts to create a ‘Code of conduct and eligibility criteria’ for members of working groups has failed due to limited community participation and widely diverging opinions on the topic. The Code was expected to deal with issues such as people involved with acting against the ideals of Auroville, acts against protection of Auroville land, violence and violations against person(s) and property, and it would also address the issues of required skills to be eligible.

The Auroville Council has stopped the process, as it feels that “some fundamental questions need to be asked and answered by us as a collective, including the need and implementation strategy of such a document” before the next attempt can be made.
