[HOT] Activation Protocol!

[Mikel Maron]

Hi

Actually, I just hadn't seen any activity in the Activation WG since January. That wiki page was not visible anywhere, here on the list, in Atrium, from obvious other pages in the wiki ...  so I wasn't aware of it. So took the initiative to make something finally happen. Lots of raw material on that wiki page. I'll work to bring these two documents together soon.

The Activation protocol is one of the first things we identified as needed after Haiti 3 years ago. Yes, we've managed without it, but I've never been comfortable with that gap. It's not meant to be a dogmatic set of rules for activation, but a necessary. So I'm going to push ahead on a draft document, and I think in two months time it will be a perfect moment for Pierre to get involved again. Looking forward to the next WG meeting.

-Mikel

>>Activation is the core of what HOT does. We ask  humanitarian organizations to rely on us for it. We do it well, but what activation is, well, that's locked up in our collective heads. We need to get it defined clearly, for ourselves, for our future selves, for our partners. The need for an activation protocol hit me (again) when I jumped in to address the potential activation request for the Sichuan earthquake. We've had a lot of discussions about doing something about it. I decided just to put a stake in the ground and get moving.

>>So please, contribute to the HackPad doc. Keep in mind the creation of a document, rather than a discussion. We can build up some steam there, and schedule a chat about soon.
