Proposed Structure
- *Phase 1* (current): Each of us asynchronously read through suggested resources or equivalent, and add proposed bullets of policies we see as relevant contingencies.
- will - not yet
- lucy - not yet
- bryan - not yet
- mako - not yet
- mika - not yet
- Phase 2: Each of us take a pass through the assembled list, and flag any policies we see as needing discussion or which we don't think we want in place.
- Phase 3: We schedule a synchronous session to go through flagged points to reach acceptable compromises.
