# 2. Identity and Discovery

How to find the institutions, platforms and people behind a subject on the current public sites.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Updated guide.** Earlier versions of these guides described community features of a previous GCRI website: accounts, profiles, questions and answers, journals, quests, bounties and similar. Those features have been retired. This guide describes how to take part through the current public sites; the earlier text is kept in the repository history.
{% endhint %}

The earlier member directory and question-and-answer pages are retired. People and work are now found through institutions and subjects:

* **Institutions.** [Institutions](/organization/institutions.md) explains who GCRI Canada, GRF, GRA and the Nexus Consortium are, and [Public sites](/organization/institutions/public-sites.md) lists every public site and subsite.
* **Subjects.** Each GCRI platform has its own pages, including a **Specialist community** page and a **Contact** page, for example [Climate and Hazards](https://therisk.global/climate-hazards/community/). Each page also links the same subject on the GRF, GRA, [Nexus Standards](/organization/institutions/nexus-standards.md), [Risk Academy](/organization/programme/academy.md) and [Nexus Reports](/organization/programme/reports.md) sites.
* **Questions.** For a question about a page, use the **Contact** page of its platform or [Contact GCRI](https://therisk.global/contact-us/). To challenge or correct something, use [Corrections and concerns](https://therisk.global/trust/corrections/).

Names of people appear on the sites only with their consent and only in the role they hold.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.therisk.global/organization/operations/platforms/2.-identity-and-discovery.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
