Glossary

A note about language and spelling: In the Global SOS Network we aim to support the top most spoken languages. By default this website uses Oxford International English, which is increasingly recognized as an international standard. As a result, we use the spelling 'organize, organizing, organization' (with a z)

They’re captured as full sentences that begin with an –ing verb. For example, a “Website Maintainer” Role might have an accountability for “Building and maintaining the groups website.”
