QUESTIONS/DISCUSSIO N resulting from our brainstorming session:
- are we to interface?
- Or be a cohesive one?
- What is our intent around networking?
- What are we about!?
- The wider the community the more that changes the magic.
- When we spoke about fundraising the issue of class came up around asking for money
how that might limit [or empower] people. We must explore the ethics of money.
