		Communities of origin are founded on family relationships, geographical areas, cultural, ethnic, or religious groups in which one is born or raised.
		Persons with the same disease could form a community of origin if there is a family history, as may be the case for monogenic disorders (single gene), or a community of circumstance, which is usually the case for common multifactorial diseases.
		Prior consultation with individuals and communities and their involvement and participation in the research design is a preliminary basis for the future distribution of benefit and may be considered a benefit in itself.

	SICE - WTO - European Communities - WT/DS269/AB/R
		The European Communities argues that the subsequent practice of one party alone cannot determine the interpretation of a treaty, and that the Panel erred in its analysis of whether there was consistent practice at the level of the European Communities and at the multilateral level.
		With regard to "the circumstances of [the] conclusion" of a treaty, this permits, in appropriate cases, the examination of the historical background against which the treaty was negotiated.
		However, the European Communities acknowledges that a legislative act taken during the verification period, prior to the formal adoption of the WTO Agreement, could be relevant for interpreting the tariff commitment under heading 02.10 of the EC Schedule, provided that compelling evidence proves that negotiators "actually took note" of such act.

	IC Web Site: Communities Directory - Articles
		Spiritual communities are comprised of spiritual practitioners who have come together in community to share in the study, practice, and expression of their common spiritual values and traditions.
		Even these communities are often criticized for being aloof and separatist, and in these cases I would suggest that much of the bias against gurus, teachers, authoritarian structures, and spiritual hierarchies may reflect the self-preserving ego that fears the loss of autonomy and of a life controlled by a force greater than itself.
		Therefore, community seekers are drawn to what they see in spiritual communities, often mistaking the brightness to be a product of community instead of recognizing that it is the result of decades of disciplined practice.

		Communities that sustained diversity the longest became integrated as an outgrowth of the civil rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s.
		Each neighborhood developed organizations, social networks, and institutions to welcome minorities into the community while attempting to ensure that existing White households did not leave.
		Communities that became diverse more recently became that way as a result of social and economic forces initially beyond their control, such as gentrifi-cation, poor real estate markets, and changes in neighborhood composition.

	Voices from the WELL: The Logic of the Virtual Commons
		As noted before, while the communications "bandwidth"[10] of most communities is quite rich and capable of nuance and fine texture through the use of communications devices like voice, gesture, posture, dress, and a host of other symbol equipment, most virtual communities allow their participants to signal each other only through the use of text.
		While the term community is often associated with the notion of cooperation and collective contribution to a common good, exclusive focus on this aspect of community obscures the fact that communities, even those clearly engaged in the construction of collective goods, are frequently marked by conflict and divisiveness.
		Communities might be definable as a set of overlapping networks of communication that remain stable for some duration and, in their intentional form, are capable of acting collectively towards a particular end.

	SICE - WTO - European Communities - WT/DS269/AB/R
		The European Communities is of the view that the Panel failed to determine properly the scope of relevant "circumstances" within the meaning of Article 32 as being those circumstances that could have influenced the common intentions of the parties with respect to heading 02.10 of the EC Schedule.
		Brazil disagrees with the European Communities that EC Regulation 535/94 is not relevant as "circumstance" of conclusion because the negotiations on the EC Schedule were concluded prior to the period of verification of the Schedules.
		The European Communities' argument that the term "in brine" refers to preservation is based solely on its definition of the verb "to salt", and, as such, the argument does not concern the ordinary meaning of the term "in brine".
