Should I copy and paste in here.
Will do anyway.

Ok , Lets draft and PLAN
I think we have enough with the above to draft the vision statement.
Who wants to do the draft.
We could probably have it voted in Loomio within the next week.
In your plan Emma, we should have a mission or purpose.
For me I guess our mission or purpose is:

To make it Happen or bring ODD to life.

This might need a lot more tuning.

Part3 of Emma’s plan is Multi year planning.

I believe this to be our next step.
My approach to future planning in my experience is to try to visualise the final product as realistically as possible and work backwards in time to to arrive at now. (the START)
Also aiming at shooting above our WEIGHT by a bit will get us closer to the result we need for.
So could it start with:
In 3years Odd to have enough elected senators (5) to have a balance of power that makes people from various political parties and sides wanting to use Odd themselves.
What do you think.
How do you see the final product.
We will probably all have different vision of what is the final product. So that should be fun
Let me know what you think.

Re Videos: Looking for someone to help editing if anyone knows. I have some stuff edited by me. Bit rough needs love.
Tom had introduced Lachlan bit earlier on but I haven't had any response from him.

Perhaps we need to also start thinking of ADVERTISING for VOLUNTEERS with specific skills that we are short of - through whatever means.

All the above is great but what about the issue of renaming of the party, FB and the website. Obviously without a party name, none of the above agenda is possible. Last I heard DDD was out and ODD was in > correct ?

@peterlindsay there's a already a few threads talking about a name change. This thread is supposed to be about "Mulit-Year Planning". Please respect the OP and stay on topic.

Again my apologies for taking so long to get this last piece to you. I have called it Part 3. Ollie, great start! All of those things are definitely items that would go on our business plan, aside from the newsletter, which would be more periodic (ie something we do every month, few months, etc).
