[CCWG-ACCT] Communications Ideas

Hi All,
As someone said during the meeting yesterday (I can’t remember who it was) I think some of our issues are around our communications, as the person said “What we have here is a failure to communicate”.
Our draft report is heavy dense reading and does little to educate the reader who has not been following our processes and discussions.
I think that we should collect some ideas on how to improve the readability and understandability of what we have set out in the report. Taking the example of some of the work we did on the remote breakout session yesterday with Steve DelBianco (Who did a great job by the way) I noted that Steve was able to distill the conversation into a single powerpoint slide, and I thought that that was an approach that we might want to take into our next draft.

To that end I wanted to see could I get some idea of how we could distill our plans for implementing each of our community powers into a single page each and made an attempt to work an illustrative example attached to this email. I think that having these one pagers at the start of our document would be very helpful and Im sure staff and the comms team can take the concept and make it a lot more attractive and pleasing to the eye than I have (I am many things, a graphic designer is not one of them!)

I have also tried to weave in the recommendations  from the GAO report on how we present our deliberations to NTIA in an attempt to assist them when it comes to measuring and assessing our work. I think that we should try and collect ideas from everyone on how we can make the report both substantive and easy to follow so happy to hear further ideas.

Also please don’t read anything into my phrasing or word choice in the examples, purely for illustration purposes.

-James
