Inappropriate judgment can compromise the OISI's ability to meet its objects and goals, and its relationships within the University and with external Indigenous organizations and communities and government agencies, and can impede UBC's progress on its Indigenous Strategic Plan and in relation to Indigenous initiatives at the local, regional, provincial, national and international level. UBC Indigenous initiatives are now more extensive, diverse, complex, and inter-dependent. Relations with Indigenous communities and organizations present a special concern: injudicious or uninformed actions by the Program Coordinator can damage important relationships with community partners, creating damage requiring years to repair.

Coordinator must exercise sound judgment over a wide range of issues and circumstances, often within a limited time frame and with limited opportunity for consultation.
