There is no singular official Handshake Project website, spokesperson, or repo. There is no official "team page".

Every single person is a genuine and authorized Director of The Handshake Project. If someone has given you a document or business card representing themselves as a Director of The Handshake Project, they have full authority to represent as Director of The Handshake Project with their own personal viewpoint, So Please Treat Them Right. You, the reader, are also a Director of The Handshake Project and have equal claim on authority, action, and viewpoints.
