Create a survey to share with Hack for LA members that helps us gauge how people feel about CFA's announcement of having a different relationship with the Brigade Network in 2023. The biggest change being that CFA will no longer be a fiscal sponsor of Brigades. Other changes include:
Transition to Independent Brigades: Code for America will be transitioning away from handling Brigade finances, as we believe there are better options at this point to help Brigades establish financial independence.
Refresh Formal Relationship Structure: Together with newly independent Brigades, we will explore new ways of supporting you and being in relationship with each other.
Partner on Digital Equity: In 2023, we will build upon the work and success of the Digital Equity collective action event 8 at last year’s Brigade Congress to improve outreach and enrollment in the Affordable Connectivity Program. We hope this becomes a model for how we can partner in targeted ways moving forward.

will CfA continue to provide access to the CfA slack, or will it be restricted to staff or staff+ the brigades/volunteers working on "Partner on Digital Equity".
If there are no plans to change the slack, who will manage the culling of channels (that seemed to be a yearly or bi yearly event
If it will be restricted. When will the existing channels be archived or deleted?
Based on their responses we might need to go and look at the history of channels such as BOP and Project Index, so that we can capture relevant content
Bonnie and I were unfortunately unable to make the last two town hall meetings regarding the updates to the Brigade network. We've kept up to date with all of the resources you've sent post meetings (thank you!) However, we still have a few specific questions related to HackforLA operations that we would like to discuss with you or the appropriate Brigade Network team member. We've gathered our questions in this document, so that we can make sure our meeting is productive :)
These are great questions. Thanks for putting this document together. Let me connect with our marketing team regarding logo usage, the Youtube channel, and the Brigade website (great suggestion, by the way). Then, I'll reach back out to schedule a time for us to chat!
In the meantime:
Key Dates: The Key Dates link should've actually directed you to the Key Dates section on the main page on the Notion. It's been fixed, thanks for catching that!
MOU: There will not be a new MOU after the current MOUs end on June 30th. However, Brigades who wish to continue their work may choose to transfer to a new fiscal sponsor (like Open Collective) or establish their own 501(c)3.
Google: Can you show me where, on your end, it says that Code for America is the owner of Hack for LA's Google Workspace? We don't own your hackforla.org domain and I don't see your email accounts tied to CfA's Google Workspace on my end. I will verify with our IT team.
Mapbox: Unfortunately, it doesn't look like there is a way to transfer access tokens between accounts, but I'll do some more digging here. Hack for LA will likely need to get their own account when you folks switch to a new fiscal sponsor or before the MOU ends on June 30th, whichever comes first. There is a grace period for in-kinds though, which we can talk about in our meeting.

What is the best way to get on your schedule?
