MESB/Accept Membership

MESB Membership Confirmation

Thank you for being part of the Masticationpedia Ethical and Scientific Board (MESB). This page explains how to formally accept (or decline) your role in a simple and fully documented way, using either LinkedIn or email.

1. How to accept the MESB membership

You can confirm your acceptance in one of the following ways (both are equally valid and will be archived as formal documentation):

1. Via LinkedIn InMail – reply to the message you received from Masticationpedia with a short sentence such as:

          “I accept the invitation to join the Masticationpedia Ethical and Scientific Board (MESB).”
   

2. Via email – send a message to
   ethics@masticationpedia.org
   with the subject:

          Subject: MESB – Membership Acceptance
   

        and the same short sentence in the body of the email.
   

     Quick confirmation (optional)

If you prefer, you can also confirm directly here. Please click one of the buttons below (your response will be recorded in the internal MESB log):

   <button id="mesb-accept-btn" style="background:#2e7d32; color:white; padding:8px 18px; border:none; border-radius:8px; cursor:pointer; margin-right:8px;">
     ✔️ I ACCEPT the membership
   </button>
   <button id="mesb-decline-btn" style="background:#c62828; color:white; padding:8px 18px; border:none; border-radius:8px; cursor:pointer;">
     ❌ I DECLINE the membership
   </button>

2. How to decline (if you are unable to participate)

If, for any reason, you prefer not to join the MESB, you can simply reply by LinkedIn or email with a short message such as:

   “Thank you for the invitation. At this time I prefer not to join the Masticationpedia
   Ethical and Scientific Board.”

Your decision will be fully respected and archived for transparency.

3. Archiving of your response

All confirmations (acceptance or decline), received via LinkedIn or email, are archived in the internal MESB records and, when relevant, referenced in the Ethical Decisions Register (EDR).

This page is only a practical guide for Board members. No additional action is required beyond your LinkedIn or email reply.
