I’m consulting with the County Recovery Manager, who has been convening other types of gatherings much of this year. Now that disaster relief funding is closer to being on the ground, the County wants to convene a larger, multi-sector event, to encourage development of community-based recovery actions. The County is also planning to have a Disaster Recovery Fund setup, which would field a competitive process for proposed projects, some of which may have convened in the larger event and decided there to collaborate on a proposal.</span><o:p></o:p></p></div></div><div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'> </span><o:p></o:p></p></div></div><div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>As with other parts of the recovery effort, this event would be under public scrutiny. It may be the largest event they’ve held, and County leadership is worried of perceptions and actual results coming from the event. In other words, there may be tendencies to have more control over the design/outcome of the day, in which case OS wouldn’t be the chosen organizing framework, but something else they’re more at ease with or accustomed to. I do believe, however, those community-based recovery actions are what they want most.</span><o:p></o:p></p></div></div><div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'> </span><o:p></o:p></p></div></div><div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>Do you have links or references to similar public sector gatherings using OS, under scrutiny, and producing anticipated results satisfactory to government and community, that I might share with County leadership?</span><o:p></o:p></p></div></div><div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'> </span><o:p></o:p></p></div></div><div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>Mahalo!</span><o:p></o:p></p></div></div><div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>~Eric</span><o:p></o:p></p></div></div><div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'> </span><o:p></o:p></p></div></div><div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial Rounded MT Bold";color:#FF301A'>Eric M.
