Each person that is a member of the New Tactics website has the ability to contact one another through this website. Here are the steps that you can take to contact a community member directly:

1. Find the member.  You may have already found the community member that you would like to contact from a dialogue, or a blog entry, or any other piece of content from the website. If this is the case, move on to step 2 below.  If you are looking for a member that you would like to contact, take a look at our member directory.  Here you can search for members by several categories including country, organization, expertise / interest, and username.
2. Click on the username (this is a hyper link, highlighted in blue). You will find this hyperlinked username if this member is the author of any content on the website, including comments or blog entries. This will bring you to the biography page of this member.  On this biography page, you have several different tabs to choose from including 'view', 'biography', and 'contact'.
3. Click on the 'Contact' tab at the top of the page (under username).
4. Type your message and click the button that reads "Send e-mail".

Your message will be sent as an email from the website, and will be received as an email by the recipient.  We have created the contact process in this way so that those would prefer to stay annonymous have the ability to do so and still be able to accept contact emails from community members. A member does not need to know another member's email address in order to contact them! Nor does one need to know the name of the community member - the only necessary piece of information is a username.
