CauseUP
together engaging the great causes of our day
CauseUP Values
CauseUP is an open, positive and
informal platform for anyone interested in giving of themselves to
actively share ideas and collaborate with others to make a positive
difference in the world.
Participation in CauseUP is based on five core values:
Openness
New Members are welcome to join what is a diverse, global, on-line community – churches, plumbers, corporate executives, entrepreneurs, social entrepreneurs, donor agency staff, policy officials, non-government organization staff, students and many others who are just interested. Members are encouraged to invite their friends and colleagues to join the network.
Community
Our vision is of an active global community of pioneers pushing the boundaries of how ordinary people can fight local and global evils (such as poverty, illiteracy, disease, etc.) by the connections they make and ideas they generate here on CauseUP. We encourage Members to actively connect with their peers, and to contribute through blogs, video and discussion forums on the site. We will also regularly add and feature content to the network, whenever we come across an idea or issue that we think will be of interest to Members. We are constantly looking to improve the site, so please do let us know what else we can add that would be useful for you and others.
Professionalism
We will facilitate the network with the utmost professionalism. We will respect Member’s privacy and will not sell or give out Members’ personal information to third parties (unless required to by law). We will not post on the site, or send Members, information that it is not related to the subject focus of the site. We will not spam Members with email (Members are able to opt out completely from receiving email by clicking on their “My Settings” link). We ask Members to follow similar principles in their use of the site. We do not permit spam. We consider messages as spam where they are both (a) unsolicited (the recipient has not granted permission for the message to be sent) and (b) sent out in bulk (the message is sent as part of a larger collection of messages, all having substantively the same content). We also do not permit advertising by members, and we do not accept membership from those who, in our view, are joining to promote non-relevant causes. If a Member has any concerns about the conduct of another Member, please contact us. We may remove material posted on the site that we feel is not related to the subject of the site. We also reserve the right to exclude members who, in our view, have not followed the values set out here.
Respect
We encourage positive and constructive discussion and even debate. If any Member (or non-Member) feels that they have been subjected to defamatory, abusive, threatening or harassing behavior, they should contact us immediately so that we can take appropriate action (which would include, but may not be limited to, exclusion from the network). The same goes for any concerns about the content of viewpoints and material posted on the site.
Integrity
Trust and honesty sit at the heart of the relationships on which the CauseUP community is based. Member profiles should contain information that is truthful. Members are asked not to upload or disseminate any files or content for which they do not own or control the intellectual property rights, except where they have received the necessary consents to do so. Members are asked not to upload or attach files that contain viruses or any other similar programs that may damage the operation of another's computer.
