 If for any reason something happens and you are unable to temporarily fulfill your duties, please inform the rest of the team in a timely manner. This can include any real life problem or event that will limit the time you can volunteer on Standing Trials. It’s perfectly normal and acceptable to have occasional lapses in activity due to real life. However we do need to be conscientious of when we are no longer able to do our jobs and need to step down.
