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 simple and fully documented, you can confirm your decision in one of the following ways. Both methods are equally valid and will be archived for transparency.
1. Via LinkedIn InMail
Reply to the message you received from Masticationpedia with one of the following sentences:
- ACCEPT: “I accept the invitation to join the Masticationpedia Ethical and Scientific Board (MESB).”
- DECLINE: “Thank you for the invitation. At this time I prefer not to join the Masticationpedia Ethical and Scientific Board.”
2. Via email
Send a message to ethics@masticationpedia.org with:
- Subject: “MESB – Membership Decision”
- and one of the two sentences above in the body of the email.
All replies (LinkedIn or email) will be archived in the internal MESB records and, when relevant, referenced in the Ethical Decisions Register (EDR).
