[Street] [Facilitation] Shared Facilitation & A Traveling GA (GA Summit Idea)

There will be a meeting on the 12/3 action tomorrow night.

Monica - Are you able to attend? It would be great to have your input.  
I think this can be incorporated nicely and should be part of the  
discussion.

That being said, the move to "outsource" GA's or more specifically to  
spread them to different communities is certainly happening in NYC. I  
think it is a great idea and can move us towards better identifying  
the issues that are impacting various communities across the city.


Best,

Daniel.
