Network creation and maintenance

Mica: "how would something like this be created//run/maintained?"

Creation

Structured with community input and cooperation

Run

Promotion of community moderators

Maintained

OSUOSL or similar orgs?

Hosting

The cost of server space and hosting is notable, but

Mica's framing

(my paraphrasing of her frame to me) Particularly important for my conversation w/ Ford folks is for you both to flesh out the section on how/out of:

• where such a "Network" would be created and run.

(I don't want to pretend to promise to singlehandedly create and run the Network we're talking about)

• So, I need some ideas to present about how I could participate in this with others, not be solely "in charge."
• How do Networks like this get off the ground?
• Are they truly co-created?
• Do they just need a good platform to get going, and then they're publicly created?
• How self-sustaining can they be?
• Do they need employees to run them?
• Do we know folks who might want to take this on?
