The BIPOC IC Council Forum is for anyone interested in supporting our mission. These Forum Agreements will not only help you understand how to act within the community but also help you understand what to expect from others in this space.
To use the forum you must register for an account using a valid email address. This account is only for the BIPOC Council website and does not give you access to any other forums.
The forum is not where you apply for funding from the BIPOC Council, though you may ask questions about the process in the appropriate category.
Above all, users are expected to be kind, helpful, and respectful. Assume the best of people and try to make things better. Beyond just seeking solutions, users are encouraged to help others. If they know the answer to someone else’s question, it is greatly appreciated that they offer assistance. This is by no means mandatory, and no one is compelled to help anyone else.
