I think the problem with movement roles is that we are covering a very broad and complex set of issues. If the we could center the topic in smaller pieces one after the other perhaps it could arouse more interest and may be progressing slowly but firmly.
Yes.
For example: - Agreeing on shared standards and review models -- combining recent work on many different fronts.
Work has been done by different groups on a Chapters Council model that was intended to include review of adherence to movement standards; on the recommended accountability standards; on recent internal audits and fairly visible review of annual plans by larger chapters. Others have been working on standards for grant acceptance and implementation via the GAC.
If we solidify a set of standards that covers the major issues different parts of the movement face, that provides a cornerstone for many other MR issues : peer review, coordination of planning, share principles.
