I can also write it in the discussion, but one thing that came to mind is that we could also involve the community in the co-creation and review process, which could look like :
- adding a step in which we ask for feedback or co-creation support for our surveys/interviews for focus groups (for every step or we have a core ethics group who meet whenever needed to do this?).
- maybe in step 4, we also involve the community in this review, so: internal, community and external review.
Just a quick thought, so no need to add in the article for now if you don't want to

The first time I read this section, such brief subtitles (###) confused me a little. Like, are these the things we want to avoid experiencing, include in the formal ethics process, or ask the community to give input about?

I wondered about this too - thanks! I'll make this longer

Does the suggestion below work?

What do you think about reordering the information? Something like:
"Ethics" behaviours we want to avoid:
- Assuming that just because something is legal ...
- "This is not human research, because it only ...
And then introduce the other two examples with the general idea behind them. Something like:
- Overfocusing on procedural formalities: "Your form doesn't have a phone number on it .... "One of your forms says last updated...

Agree! I think this reordering will help in clarifying what we're asking input on. Could we highlight the specific questions we'd like to ask?

| ## Where is the line - what requires ethics review and what doesn't? | ||
| Given our varying experiences with research ethics, and the way we enjoy working with community, we want to formalise exactly _which_ types of interaction and knowledge gathering should go through the ethics process and how much. Here's a hypothetical scale, from least strict to most strict: |

Related to the previous comment around clarity on feedback request: Is this just hypothetical or an actual proposal we're asking feedback on?
