3. Sustainability: Kirsten Leonard posited that grant funding might be used to hire consultants to interview partners to make sure the community is meeting the needs of the partners (charter to draft questions and conduct interviews); Kirsten is willing to author if people support the idea. This reduce load on the community. It was suggested that we should review prior grants. People who want to join the working group should contact Kirsten.
