Code of Conduct

Rev. 1.1.1

The WMDA is pleased to offer the WMDA members this online collaboration platform - WMDA Share - to interact with other WMDA members and WMDA working groups.

Our goal is to create a secure and easy-to-use environment for WMDA members to collaborate on various WMDA initiatives, and to share views, concerns and interact with one another. We encourage your participation and ask you to review and follow these guidelines in order to understand your responsibilities while using this tool.

   1   Be Respectful

WMDA is a world-wide association. Please be respectful of others' cultures, values, and language. It's ok to disagree with others, but personal attacks or disparaging comments will not be tolerated.

   2   Protect Privacy of Personal Information

This is in support of WMDA Bylaws, Article 2.2 that requires the protection of “the welfare and safety of the donor by issuing guidelines which ensure donor confidentiality”.

Sensitive personally identifiable information is often described as any kind of information which if lost, compromised, or disclosed without authorisation, could result in substantial harm, embarrassment, inconvenience, or unfairness to an individual. This includes an individual's government-issued ID numbers, an individual's demographic information (including names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, date of birth), financial accounts’ information (including credit or debit card numbers), medical and health-related information, and other.

The goal of this requirement is to protect sensitive personally identifiable information from unauthorized disclosure or theft in order to comply with various international, domestic and local laws and regulations related to information security and privacy.

   3   Ensure Information Security

WMDA Share is intended to provide access to information that may not be disclosed to the general public (such as member-only communications, working group-only documentation, etc.). Therefore it is critical that you protect your user account information, including username and password, and do not share it with anyone.

Similarly, please do not copy or transfer any WMDA-owned information outside of WMDA Share without proper authorisation.

   4   Abide by Acceptable Use

As a condition of your access to this tool, you have to agree to never use it in connection to any activity that is illegal under local, state, federal or international law while utilizing WMDA Share. In particular, you agree not to submit any content that is obscene, defamatory, libelous, threatening, harassing, pornographic, racially or ethnically offensive, that encourages conduct that would be considered a criminal offense or give rise to any civil liability. You also agree not submit any material (including any virus, bot, worm, scripting exploit or other harmful code) that is likely to harm or corrupt WMDA Share or its data.
