Contact protocol

Establishing contact

A public contact form is not part of this environment. Contact is handled discreetly, selectively and by electronic means only.

OBRANA is not an open discussion forum. Contact usually follows a professional context, a personal meeting or a recommendation.

Where no prior connection exists, contact may still be initiated if there is a clear substantive reason, professional context and a relevant purpose for the communication.

Protocol

How to establish contact

  1. Recommendation or prior professional linkThe preferred route is a personal recommendation, a prior professional relationship or continuity from an earlier discussion.
  2. Brief electronic introductionIf no such link exists, a brief and factual note outlining the purpose of contact, the professional context and the reason for reaching out is sufficient.
  3. Individual reviewAny further step follows only where the proposed contact fits the character, subject matter and focus of this environment.
Electronic contact

Electronic contact

Initial outreach is handled exclusively by electronic means. The e mail address is revealed only after click.

The message should be concise, factual and free of unnecessary attachments. A clear identity, professional context and reason for contact are sufficient.
