Help me respond to an invitation to join a board or committee. The invitation and the organisation: [INVITATION]. Time commitment as described: [TIME_COMMITMENT]. My interest, capacity and concerns: [MY_POSITION]. Write three replies: a thank-you that asks for more information (role description, meeting schedule, liability and insurance arrangements, expectations on fundraising or contributions), an acceptance with clear conditions, and a polite decline with an alternative way to help. Each under 140 words. Provide a list of questions to ask before accepting, including how decisions are made and what happens in a conflict of interest. Mark legal duties and liability points as items to confirm with the organisation's adviser or my own [VERIFY] for [JURISDICTION]. Add a short plan for a trial period, such as attending one meeting as an observer before committing, and a list of documents to request, such as the latest accounts and minutes. Add a due diligence section: a checklist of documents to request (governing document, recent accounts, minutes, risk register, insurance certificate), questions about finances and recent disputes, and a plan to speak to two current members before deciding. Explain in plain terms the usual duties of care and loyalty that a board member has and mark them [VERIFY] for [JURISDICTION], recommending that I seek advice on personal liability. Provide a one-page decision grid weighing time, learning, contribution and risk, and a short acceptance message that states conditions such as access to insurance cover and a clear role description. Finally, add a one-page summary of the commitment for my own records: the role, the time per month, the term, the expectations, the risks identified and the date to review whether the role is working for me. Nothing here replaces a lawyer. Tag jurisdiction-specific rules [VERIFY], name [JURISDICTION] wherever it matters, and list the questions I should take to a professional before sending or signing anything.
