Thank you for stepping forward in contributing to the initiative’s representation and action on behalf of the community.
Being close to 40 people, geographically dispersed, and virtually no previous acquaintance, we have decided to structure our joint work in sequential steps and around digital means. Still, aiming to progress as fast as possible.

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
