Informal tools may be used only for limited coordination, relationship management, reminders, introductions, or non-sensitive communication where permitted. They should not be used as the main place for official GRA work.
WhatsApp, Signal, Telegram, LinkedIn, private email, text messages, and informal chats are not appropriate for official submissions, role approvals, subscription decisions, capital-reader eligibility, insurance-readiness eligibility, National Stewardship Council appointment, Project SPV-readiness review, National Nexus Consortium Company readiness review, sponsor commitments, institutional participation approvals, conflict disclosures, controlled documents, or claims-discipline matters.
They are also risky for financial-services contexts. A private message can be screenshotted, forwarded, misunderstood, or used to imply access, influence, endorsement, investor interest, insurance interest, public authority support, or Nexus Universe selection.
If an informal conversation raises a serious matter, the participant should move it back into the official environment. The appropriate action is to submit the correct form, create or update the docket, use the official workspace, or ask the authorized team to record the matter properly.
Informal tools can assist coordination. They cannot replace the record.
