There are three ways you can interact in this Members Workspace (click each one to reveal details):
1) Submit a new Topic in one of the main subject categories (see left nav menu).
If you have something new to contribute concerning one of the main categories (e.g., Accountability & Transparency), please create a page as follows:
- IMPORTANT: ensure that your browser is currently pointed to the applicable category's main page unless you are intending to create an additional sub-topic to one already submitted.
- Click on the +Add button on the top menu bar and select Page from the drop-down list.
- Click in the text box that shows "New Page" and enter an appropriate title that will help other participants understand your submission.
- Enter the detailed contents in the main text window and any formatting (see User Help) that will make your message clear.
- Save the page.
After saving your page, if a mistake occurred or you see something minor that needs correction, you may Edit the page you created. Once comments have been posted to a topic, authors are asked NOT to make substantive changes that would otherwise destroy the thread's integrity and continuity.
Please be careful when submitting content. Once a topic or sub-topic has been saved, it cannot be removed by the author. If an error occurs and it is imperative that a page be deleted in its entirety, please complete a Technical Request Form and describe the circumstances and desired outcome. Each case will be evaluated individually to ensure that a substantive discussion thread is not adversely impacted by such action.
2) Add a Comment about a sub-topic.
At the bottom of each page, you will see a text box that contains "Write a comment..." Clicking inside that box will open up an edit window in which you may insert your comment about the topic. For additional information about working with comments, including inserting images/attachments/links and formatting, please see this Help page: Comments-How to Create & Reply.
Please note that once your comment has been saved (posted), it cannot be removed by the author (see explanatory note at the bottom of this page). If an error occurs and it is imperative that a comment be deleted in its entirety, please complete a Technical Request Form describing the circumstances and desired outcome. Each case will be evaluated individually to ensure that a substantive discussion thread is not adversely impacted by such action.
3) Reply to a previously submitted comment.
Once a comment has been added by you or someone else, a Reply option will be available. Clicking on that button will open a text box into which you may insert your content. For additional help with the menu bar, inserting images/attachments/links, and formatting, please see this Help page: Comments-How to Create & Reply.
Please note that once your reply has been saved (posted), it cannot be removed by the author (see explanatory note at the bottom of this page). If an error occurs and it is imperative that a reply be deleted in its entirety, please complete a Technical Request Form describing the circumstances and desired outcome. Each case will be evaluated individually to ensure that a substantive discussion thread is not adversely impacted by such action.
