Policies for Private Sessions

The ISWorld VMC is pleased to arrange private meetings for the Information Systems community. We have a few policies and restrictions that are listed below. We welcome your feedback on these policies and hope to continue evolving them to better serve the needs of all concerned. :

  1. The VMC is only available for use by faculty and researchers in the information systems community, invited guests, and students sponsored by faculty. Students may apply to independently use the VMC if they are sponsored by a faculty member.
  2. Given that the VMC has limited resources and is managed by volunteers we may not be able to honor every request and may have to prioritize requests based on our availability and interests.
  3. The VMC will handle registration, publicity (if desired), and reminders. In addition, a VMC member will assist with planning and with technical issues during your session. We assume that the session will be moderated by you or a person designated by your group.
  4. The VMC will log all sessions and provide a copy of the transcript to the session organizer/moderator. We will make the transcript available publicly only if requested to do so by the session organizer/moderator. Organizers/moderators are responsible for informing participants that their interaction may be made public.
  5. All transcripts will include the following information:
