<DIV>From our Co-Co call last night, we have determined: </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>1) A strategy feedback email needs to go to County Contacts asap. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>2) The draft is below for review - I will send that out asap with the CCs blessing.</DIV>
<DIV><BR>3) The Wiki Pages for posting the feedback from Counties will be added shortly. Bert Hauer and I are working together on that. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>4) Please view: <A href="http://wiki.cagreens.org">http://wiki.cagreens.org</A>. This is being used for Green documents including Marnie Glickman's Green 2012 Propsal, so is a logical "place" for longer term Strategy as well.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>4) The end of February is a good deadline to ask Counties to get their feedback to us via Wiki or the Strategy Listserve (as back-up) so we'll have enough time to gather the feedback into something presentable at the Spring Plenary.</DIV><BR>
