Working Model

1. Membership

       Any individual or agency concerned with HIV/AIDS and willing to devote his/her talent and energy to the Coalition can become a member of ITPC (China Region). Just send an application   via e-mail to itpcchina@gmail.com. Once approved, the new member will be placed into the appropriate communications platform. Any ITPC member must be an active participant in the internal communication, while respecting (with the premise of obeying) all China's relevant laws.

     One month's absence from the communication activities will be considered a resignation from the Coalition. Resignation notice by e-mail will also be accepted.

2. Communication

       The Coalition's management is somewhat casual. All communication between members is done via 4 main platforms, as explained below:

       (1) QQ Group Chatting (Group Number: 69650959):

              - Meetings via Internet

              - Periodic Information Sharing

              - One-on-one Communication between individual members

       (2) Website: www.itpc-china.org

              Functions:

              - Sharing advocacy-related information from all over China

                                    - Promoting better communication and access to treatment information through the activists' BBS and Medical Staff's BBS, in order to improve local treatment and service.

       (3) E-mail

-        Periodic posting of advocacy information through e-mail group (itpcchina@googlegroups.com)

-    Setting up of work plans through communication between members. ITPC will provide support as needed.hould one want to share information without publicizing it, just send it to: itpcchina@gmail.com

       (4) ITPC Bulletin

-        Sharing of information and successful experiences of HIV/AIDS treatment and advocacy in and outside China from members publishing and mailing to ITPC Bulletin.

3.  Preparation

       Members can set priorities for advocacy activities in their working area through discussion on the communication platforms; they can then form a team, develop the working plans and select key volunteers based on the priorities identified. They can submit all of this as an application for approval to itpcchina@gmail.com. Resources will only be allocated once the application is approved.

4. Implementing the work plans

The implementing team must (is supposed to) share its progress (working) with all members periodically via e-mail.

5. Evaluation and Conclusion

Once all the work is completed, the implementing team will be dissolved after handing over the (work) reports to all the members who will evaluate its effectiveness and outcome.
