Power of Hope

Thanks for getting the ball rolling, Toby.

I spoke with Michael Harris today. He has done some research and chatted with some different people since our initial contact with him. One of those conversatios was with Sam. He mentioned it went well and that she helped answer a lot of his questions. Thanks Sam!

Power of Hope is officially a testing partner. Michael Harris will pull a team of staff and youth together to serve as the official Power of Hope testing team. Their web address is www.powerofhope.org

I have a feeling this is going to be an issue that comes up often. I propse that we put together some type of safety specs sheet for our partners to help alleviate their fears; as well as, educate them. My guess is that a lot of non profits are going to be wrestling with safety issues as they embrace emerging (maybe old by then) technologies. Plus, this would be a nice slide to add to the PSO PowerPoint a group of BC interns will put togther.

Any ideas on what we would want to say or should include.

Chris,

I’m happy to hear Power of Hope is going to work as a testing partner! This is great news. Since they’re already working with Sam for their own website, I think they’ll be an especially good testing partner.

I think a safety spec sheet - maybe with links to some of our policies - is a great idea. We could format it as an FAQ perhaps? This would be great information to include in any presentations or packets we give to new potential partners. Why don’t you and I work together offline to come up with a list of questions for the FAQ?
