Jumping rrrrrright in 🙌

Looking at [Working Groups v1.1](https://gov.indexcoop.com/t/working-groups-v1-1/1824) a few initial questions come to mind. I’m _really_ drilling in for specificity here.

On **What are the core problem(s) you want to solve today?**  
It’d be great to get more specific here, i.e.

- Is disconnect with our community really a problem today? How is that showing up? Likewise for “failure to leverage.”
- What specific organizational inefficiencies do you notice?
- How are we ineffective with our identification/utilization/retention of top people?

On **How will you address it**

- If you had to boil it down all the initiatives to top 5 in terms of impact, what would those 5 be?

On **What impact will this project have**

- I appreciate the idea that a variety KPIs may rise if this WG is successful. However, it will be tough to link, “Identification of people needs” with “increase in unit supply” for example.
- So, what are some specific outcomes you can focus on driving? i.e. # of new engineering contributors retained

I am voting “AGAINST”\*\* for the time being given these initial outstanding questions.

`Important side note -- Private Polls`

As a general rule of thumb, i suggest all working group proposals make polls like this private in order to encourage both FORs and AGAINSTs to make themselves known.

I believe that private polls lead to a more accurate reflection of community sentiment.
