Host a community conversation
A credible institution should be tested in more than one room. Gather 5 to 15 people and ask where the proposed OPCA model would fail.
The purpose is not to collect cases, appoint representatives, raise money, or create a chapter. The purpose is to test the design.
Before the conversation
- Read Why OPCA.
- Read the proposed model.
- Read the Stage One charter.
- Read the public decisions.
- Choose one facilitator and one anonymous note taker.
Discussion questions
- What serious problem does the current design fail to address?
- Where could OPCA accidentally put a family at risk?
- What information should OPCA never collect?
- What authority should the founder retain?
- What authority should never depend on one person?
- What proof would make you trust a future OPCA case process?
- What would make the organization collapse or become politically captured?
- What should be tested before another country process opens?
