Participate as much as you can, that way the whole group will benefit.

Be mindful of differences in language and culture and help others to join in and understand.

Don’t always assume others know acronyms, jargon or slang, or that they will participate at the same speed you do.

Listen to, and respect all points of view, even if they are very different than your own (suspend your judgement as best you can)

Inquire rather than debate and seek to understand others rather than persuade

Question assumptions, especially your own

Try taking a different point of view than you are used to, or take a few risks with what you are contributing.
