My earlier posting got deleted when I switched ID’s from “Phil” to “Phil_Wiley” to comply with guidelines. Believe point (2) is well covered, perhaps this can be part of a discussion on (1) & (3)
It occurs to me that these “sets of metrics” would be helpful to explain FAN & FAN NA’s to anyone, for recruiting new members to either, & for managing the evolution of new groups.
(1) Rate a given FAN NA against the FAN principles for a NA … because it promotes FAN & the NA having high standards. For public uset.
(2) Rate a given “Neighborhood” against the “Imagine Austin” … because this can become a gap analysis leading to street level & land use change recommendations we need to achieve stated “compact & connected” goals. For public use.
(3) Rate our FAN NA’s, & potentially at large “area’s”, against some internal metrics… because it can be helpful to have objectives & timelines - there are many steps from concept of a local group, to having one with an effective voice… Membership & voting participation objectives is an example as that determines how others perceive our relevance. Only for self grading & recognizing where help may be needed. Not necessarily for public use, unless a NA wants to use certain facts about their groups evolution.
Thanks all for your thoughtful comments - very helpful.
