8. Transparency Procedures for Resource Development continuity and expansion – Civi?

1. Julia talks to Elifarley
2. We're interested in expansion to other states and countires. To facilitate this, we're committing to documenting the process as much as possible - for 2 reasons: (1) once a project is done, the implementor wants to move on instead of documenting; (2) nuances of the challenges, though important during development, are forgotten later on.
