I have the responsibility to:

1. Be aware of and follow basic netiquette guidelines.

8. Contribute to the overall success of the organization.
9. Productively contribute to advancing the goals of the organization.
10. Volunteer to take on tasks I am free to do especially when somebody else is too busy.
11. Offer to do work promoting the Mission and Vision of INTRAA, and then follow through.
12. Understand that we all have responsibilities outside of INTRAA and not presume a few days' silence to be inattention or dereliction.
13. Acknowledge and uphold our existing organization policies and procedures.
14. Observe the Grievance Procedure when reporting a violation of these rights and responsibilities.
