This management plan was developed as part of the URGE deliverables.
  • Policies created during the URGE program in winter/spring 2021.
  • Some documents are hosted in a Google Drive that members can access.
  • Demographic data will be hosted in a folder with access restricted to Pod members. Longer term decisions about who has access to this data need to be made.
  • As the community grows, the long-term governing structure needs to be developed.
