> Mailing list - I will continue sending key updates but this will mean all of you will be able to send emails to each other as well.  We are in process of setting this up on the server.
> WhatsApp Community - while we appreciate the sentiment of those not wanting to use Meta-owned platforms most people chose WhatsApp as their preferred way of communication and as we don’t know each other yet we thought it we need to make the communication as straightforward as possible. This Community function seems to have both announcements and group chats so let’s try it out. You can join this here: https://chat.whatsapp.com/HqSD19DnK1aDiMkttVb8nC 
> In person meetings - we will have monthly in person meetings alternating Saturday afternoons and weekday evenings (probably a Weds or Thurs but TBC). We’ll start with The Field but open to other venue suggestions. These will be possible to join online as well but we encourage people to attend as hybrid meetings never work very well. 
> Online meetings - these will be organised on an ad-hoc basis by working groups 
> CASH Cloud - this is an online open-source website/app that works similarly to Google Drive. On top of file sharing you can also have a shared calendar and to do list called Deck alongside lots of useful functions for polls, and surveys etc. There’s also an integrated messaging app we can look into later on if people are interested. We are in process of setting you all up with an account, but you can already use this shared folder in the meanwhile: https://cloud.ldn.cash/s/LBWctA2zLTREGeK

>> Esra and I will be reviewing your responses this week and will get back to you with a suggested way forward on Monday. Communications will likely be a blend of things to allow everyone to participate, with more meeting intensive beginnings until we come up with a shared plan and more sub-group / remote working with regular touch points later on.
