1. Work Norms: How will work be distributed? Who will set deadlines? What happens if someone doesn't follow through on his/her commitment (for example, misses a deadline)? How will the work be reviewed? What happens if people have different opinions about the quality of the work? What happens if people have different work habits (e.g., some people like to get assignments done right away; others work better with the pressure of a deadline).
2. Facilitator Norms: Will you use a facilitator? How will the facilitator be chosen? Will you rotate the position? What are the responsibilities of the facilitator? (see below)
3. Communication Norms: When should communication takes place and through what medium (e.g., do some people prefer to communicate through e-mail while others would rather talk on the phone)?
4. Meeting Norms: What is everyone's schedule? Should one person be responsible for coordinating meetings? Do people have a preference for when meetings are held? Where is a good place to hold meetings? What happens if people are late to a meeting? What happens if a group member misses a meeting? What if he/ she misses several meetings?
