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
An introduction should make room for difference.

THE SUBJECT
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
FROM AN IDEA TO AN ARRANGEMENT
Explain your actual contribution, place of practice and intended audience. Keep private client information out of a general proposal.
Ask who reviews the proposal and what permissions, format, costs and publication arrangements apply. No activity is scheduled by submitting a draft.
Agree how contributions are attributed and what may be retained or shared. A discussion is not a professional credential or practical authorisation.
A CONVERSATION BEGINS WITH A CONTEXT.
An original study. A professional introduction.
A thoughtful idea for an exchange.
