• Resources: Publications or websites you’d like to share or discuss
• Experience: You’d like to share, and have others share with you
• Initiatives you’d like to start, in which you’d like to mobilize interested practitioners and experts

Community Rules

This discussion space supports open, respectful and inclusive dialogue.

Please Do:

• Share your opinions freely
• Respect others’ opinions, even if you disagree
• Use accessible language, and provide definitions for industry jargon
• Keep your postings to under 3 paragraphs (x words)
• Attach related documents or longer case studies
• Contact the facilitator if you experience hostility, insult or offensive language during a conference.

Please Don’t:

• Discount others’ opinions, even if you disagree
• Use slang or a lot of industry jargon
• Start discussions purely to advertise your services or promote your program
• Monopolize the dialogue – for example, don’t post more than 3 times as much as anyone else.
• Respond to hostility, insult or offensive language on the discussion site. Rather, contact the facilitator and we will take care of it.
• Worry too much about the rules. We will let you know privately and quietly if there is a concern.

Thank you for respecting our community and welcoming open dialogue.
