2. Anti-Trust Caution
GS1 and the GSMP operate under the GS1 anti-trust caution. Strict compliance with anti-trust laws is and always has been the policy of GS1.
The best way to avoid problems is to remember that the purpose of the committee is to enhance the ability of all industry members to compete more efficiently.
This means:
There shall be no discussion of prices, allocation of customers, or products, etc.
If any participant believes the group is drifting towards an impermissible discussion, the topic shall be tabled until the opinion of counsel can be obtained.
The full anti-trust caution is available in the Community Room if you would like to read it in its entirety.

3. Meeting Etiquette
Meetings will begin promptly at designated start times
Avoid distracting behaviour:
Place all mobile devices on silent mode

Speak in turn and be respectful of others
Be collaborative in support of the meeting objectives
