COMMON/Speaker Understanding

1. Speakers commit to present at COMMON through the two conference e-mails that identify and confirm the name, title, abstract, and logistics of the sessions they have proposed when submitting a response to the'Call for Presentations.'

2. If a Speaker chooses to provide a handout for their session they must go to the COMMON website to upload their handouts. They are asked to give permission to:

• Reproduce paper copies of the presentation handouts for use during their sessions at the conference.
• To include a digital copy of the presentation handouts on a CD distributed to conference attendees.
• To post a digital copy of the presentation handouts on the COMMON web site for downloading by conference attendees.

(COMMON will use and distribute the intellectual property submitted by speakers only as specifically granted to COMMON.)

3. COMMON understands that by agreeing to speak at COMMON the Speaker understands:

• The content of the presentation must be accurate to the best of their knowledge.
• The presentation does not violate any copyright, proprietary rights or personal rights of others.
• Has obtained the necessary permissions to reproduce or use any materials for which they are not the author or copyright holder.
• Has provided an abstract which accurately reflects the contents of each presentation.
• Complies with the principles of COMMON's Code of Ethics.
• Expects no compensation from COMMON for its use of the presentations.
