The Foundation for Intentional Community (FIC) operates ic.org, a directory and resource hub for intentional communities. The Global Ecovillage Network (GEN) operates ecovillage.org, a directory and network for ecovillages worldwide. FIC and GEN are separate organizations — each runs its own platform, sets its own policies, and is independently responsible for its own members’ data.
FIC and GEN have built a technical connection between ic.org and ecovillage.org so that a community can choose to appear in both directories without creating and maintaining two separate listings. We call this a “Dual Listing.”
Dual Listing is entirely optional. A member’s profile stays on their Home Platform, or the site they originally signed up on, whether or not they choose to share it further.
Whichever platform you registered on is your “Home Platform,” and that organization is responsible for your data as its controller:
If you choose to share your profile with the Partner Platform, that organization becomes independently responsible for how it displays and handles the shared copy. Your Home Platform remains your primary point of contact for any privacy questions or requests.
When you choose to purchase a Plus membership, the benefits apply to both ic.org and ecovillage.org. Your Home Platform is the organization that receives the financial support of your membership purchase.Â
If you turn off Dual Listing sharing:
Your profile on your Home Platform is never affected by this toggle, it only controls what appears on the other organization’s site.
For any question about your data, start with your Home Platform – the organization you originally signed up with:
If your question involves data that also appears on the Partner Platform through a Dual Listing, your Home Platform will coordinate with the Partner Platform on your behalf.

An institution, business, network, or project that isn’t a residence (e.g. a learning center, farm, or network with no one living there full-time).
