MESB/Accept Membership

MESB Membership Confirmation

You have been invited to join the Masticationpedia Ethical and Scientific Board (MESB), the independent body responsible for ethics, scientific integrity, and AI/data governance across the Masticationpedia project.

Before confirming your participation, please read carefully the meaning of your choice.

What ACCEPT means

By accepting, you agree to:

• serve as an independent ethical/scientific advisor;
• offer occasional comments or short evaluations (asynchronous; no meetings required);
• have your name publicly listed as a MESB member.

No operational duties, no administrative responsibilities, no workload beyond brief evaluations.

What DECLINE means

Declining simply means that, at this time, you prefer not to participate in the MESB. Your decision will be fully respected and will not affect your relationship with Masticationpedia.

You may optionally write a short polite sentence when you decline.

How to formally ACCEPT or DECLINE

To keep everything very simple and fully documented, you can confirm your decision with one click using the buttons below. An email will open with a pre-written sentence that you can send or slightly adapt if you wish.

   ❌ I DECLINE
 </a>

Both options will create an email that you can send from your usual mailbox. All messages are archived for transparency in the internal MESB records.

If you prefer, you can also simply reply to the original LinkedIn InMail with the same short sentence (“I accept the invitation…” or “At this time I prefer not to join…”). These replies are also considered fully valid.
