The membership roster may not be used to contact members with spam.
Don’t post any sensitive information. Moderators may remove personal / confidential information from posts to protect your privacy.
Link to content rather than posting it in its entirety, unless you are the copyright holder or have permission from the copyright holder.
Do not post direct links to executable files. Moderators may remove these links to protect users from potentially malicious downloads. (You can post a link to the web page that contains the file download, but it may also be removed if a Moderator finds that the web page content could be harmful or if the web page link is spam.)
Do not use obscene, lewd, lascivious, filthy, or excessively violent language.
Do not harass, insult, taunt, provoke, demean, or personally attack other forum members. Be friendly and professional even if others are not.
Posts in the forum must be relevant to ONC TEFCA RCE participation (or designated committee/workgroup/council) and its work. Users who post about inappropriate or off-topic subjects may be directed to an alternative discussion forum or to another resource, if appropriate.
