<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: -webkit-standard; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 16px;"><font face="Calibri">When we re-opened the SIGCIS listserv in September of 2017 after a three-month hiatus, we indicated that we would send out the Acceptable Use Policy and the Statement of Community Values on an
occasional basis as reminders of our commitments. Now that the annual convening is over, it seems appropriate to do that again; </font></span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16px;">SIGCIS officers put considerable time and substantial thought
into these documents. </span></p>
