1. COLLECT IDEAS

Our starting point will be to harvest everyone’s individual thoughts. Think of it as a brain dump.

This survey aims at that: each one of us will register their inputs, which we will subsequently streamline and use to brainstorm around. We will then be in a position to decide what our course of action will be: either it emerges organically or we assess what options do we have and take a vote on those.

We have 3 sections on this survey:

→ Wanted outcome(s): to gather your needs / wishes / wants

→ Actions: to list out possible actions we could / should take

→ Any Other Business: the possibility to input whatever aspect that was not addressed in any of the previous sections

Please send your ideas before October 31st
