Approach
Approach of the Approach
- transparency
- wholism
- absorbing and integrating good suggestions
- open, honest
- we've been working hard
languaging:
- exploring these things
- differentiate between "OGM Foundation" and "OGM community"
- (is it two things? more things? does it have fractal and/or holographic nature?)
- what are the relationships between the different OGMs?
- why Lionsberg?
- leverage of larger community
- approaching possibility of financing / funding for OGM goals
- Steward Ownership relative to other models (platform cooperative, FairShares, etc.)
- They're not mutually exclusive (not either/or)
what we might communicate / maybe not all at once
what media and method do we use to communicate
- Google Slides presentation, then record it and share it? (current fav)
- Massive wiki pages, which we share live in a pop-up OGM call?
include FAQs, anticipated questions/resistance and have answers laid out before communicating

where, when and how: email to list / forum / mattermost
