Joining BenBiz

If you only want to look around, the Guest area needs no account. It shows the idea behind the application, public projects and illustrative working records. It creates no personal record or message.

If you want to leave a note on the website or in the Reading Area, follow open circle developments or later take responsibility, become an Explorer Member with your own e-mail and password. If you already have an account, continue through Member sign-in.

• Guest: account-free discovery only.
• Explorer Member: a BenBiz identity, personal profile, website and Reading Area contributions, and open developments.
• Circle member: the private workspace of a circle that has approved you.

Once you confirm your e-mail, your BenBiz identity and profile are ready. Without belonging to a circle or holding an active task, you may send a question, correction, objection, experience, wording proposal or source about the website or any living Reading Area guide. Explorer Membership is also enough to contribute to ObaNova’s development.

You can see the purpose, preparation state and publicly shared needs of open circles. Other members’ private details, private messages, task conversations and internal decisions do not appear in the Explorer Member area.

When you want to approach a circle, choose “Take responsibility” or “Join a circle”. Briefly introduce yourself and explain the area that draws you, what you hope to make or learn, what you can offer and how much time you can carry.

You do not need to arrive with a finished project. Knowledge, work, time, a place, equipment, relationships or a need can be a beginning. What you share completes your profile and reaches only the relevant coordinator’s review desk.

Your request enters the coordinator’s Welcome Desk. The coordinator may ask a question inside the application, and you answer in the same record. Your Explorer Member access remains open while the conversation continues.

If the request is approved, only the selected circle’s workspace opens. If it is declined or considered too early, you see the reason while keeping your Explorer Membership and content-contribution access. You may withdraw an open request.

Your password belongs only to you; no coordinator can see it. Each circle makes its own membership decision, and approval in one circle never grants silent access to another.

A participation request is not a promise of membership, work, income, a score, entitlement or payment. It does keep your word from disappearing: you can follow the request state, any question and the reasoned outcome from your own account.
