Make the context visible
Explain your actual contribution, place of practice and intended audience. Keep private client information out of a general proposal.
ITAA / CONVERSATION / 02
The person & their context
An introduction should make room for difference.
02
THE SUBJECT
A cross-border introduction with context
State your actual role, place of practice and the professional conversation you are seeking. Ask about language, time zone and access preferences before arranging an exchange.
Do not assume that a title establishes the same scope in every jurisdiction. An introduction does not create a chapter, licence, institutional recognition or verified employment relationship.
WHAT THE CONVERSATION NEEDS
A sharper question.
A clearer boundary.
- What context matters to the introduction?
- Which practical logistics are agreed?
- Which local requirements need their own source?
FROM AN IDEA TO AN ARRANGEMENT
Agree the terms
Ask who reviews the proposal and what permissions, format, costs and publication arrangements apply. No activity is scheduled by submitting a draft.
Keep a useful record
Agree how contributions are attributed and what may be retained or shared. A discussion is not a professional credential or practical authorisation.
