New Member Information Sheets (pp 15-19) MEETING GUIDELINES The purpose of the Global Roundtable for Sustainable Beef is to discuss sustainability issues related to the global beef system. Conversation and discussion about increasing industry sustainability are neutral and pro-competitive. While compliance with antitrust and other laws that govern participation in industry meetings is the responsibility of each participant, we ask you to follow both common sense and these simple guidelines to help us conduct our meeting according to good practices, and to ensure that your fellow participants are comfortable attending and actively participating. DO adhere to the written meeting agenda. DO NOT, in our organized meeting sessions, in informal discussions in the hallway, or in any other setting: discuss prices, rates, or other terms of trade among competitors; engage in discussions that could result in o the allocation of customers or markets, o the fixing or stabilization of prices, o limitations on production, o boycotts of customers, suppliers, or rivals, or o agreements that would competitively disadvantage certain rivals; discuss proprietary or other competitively sensitive information; discuss or engage in coordinated behavior to maintain prices, profit margins, or stability in an industry; engage in any other anti-competitive behavior or any discussion you feel might be inappropriate. Thank you for following these few simple guidelines. They are provided to set the stage for a successful discussion of sustainability, not as a complete list of antitrust “don’ts” or legal advice. Should you have any concerns or questions about antitrust issues, your legal responsibilities, or your participation in industry meetings, you should seek advice from your own counsel.
