There is one K4P community: each member of Knowledge4Policy has one K4P account and one K4P personal profile (see FAQ: What is my personal profile and how do I create and manage mine?). All personal profiles appear in the All members gallery in the top K4P menu.

On the other hand, we often refer to knowledge service communities. Each of them:

• is managed by a knowledge service (although many knowledge services currently do not have a knowledge community);
• brings together a subset of the K4P community interested in that knowledge service’s specific domain.

As a K4P member you can apply to join one, several or all knowledge service communities. When your application is approved by the knowledge service you:

• appear in their members gallery;
• can submit knowledge to the knowledge service;
• can contact other members of the K4P community via the (see FAQ: What is ‘Contact me’ and how does it work?
