Cross Cultural Conversations Agreement

I agree to adhere to the ground rules for online communication, which I have read and understand. I agree to keep our online communications completely confidential. I understand that no online communication is completely secure, and our conversations may be accessed at some point in the future despite the strongest security measures. Thus, I will do my utmost to treat sensitive and/or politicized topics with care and concern for the wellbeing and safety of others. I accept my responsibility to treat informants, that is the persons involved in this program who are members of the culture under study, with respect at all times, and will do my best to respond to their questions in a timely manner. I commit to checking the discussion forum at leat once a day, and to respond within 48 hours.
