CB.15:4.6 - Return the contribution to both practices

Give the result to the people who need it on each side. Explain what was obtained, the conditions on which it depends and the next use or unresolved question. Check that the participants may share the intended account; protect material whose permission was limited to the encounter.

For a new shared instruction or practice contribution, use CB.14 to obtain qualification and maintenance. For a local adaptation, give the receiving owner the relevant observation and conditions. A helpful encounter may finish with one person changing a request and no new joint resource.

Where representatives took part, return the result to their groups and distinguish observations, proposals and agreed commitments. The account should allow those groups to correct a mistaken interpretation or decide whether to support further work.

Make the next contact usable when continued exchange is wanted: who can answer which question, by what route and within what realistic availability. Reduce the promise if it depends on a single overloaded person.
