CHH Questionnaire

1. What's CHH mission?
2. Do we see our involvement as something long term, or on the spot for this year only?
3. Should we set up a pilot project first as a way to test our commitment, and the feasibility of our mission? If yes, what would be its scope?
4. How should we organize ourselves
- Set up an NGO
- Operate under another NGO's umbrella
- Informally, until certain key milestones (time/financial) have been achieved? 5. Even if we don't set up an NGO right away or opt for informality, what are the basic rules of engagement (bylaws) regarding:
- Roles and responsibilities
- Nomination process
- Financial management
- Project implementation, communications and monitoring
- How to change the bylaws
6. Do we need 501(c)(3) status?
(If we plan to raise money from US donors, then this is a must. And apparently, it's hard to get, hence the possibility to work under an existing NGO's umbrella)
7. Should progress (in defining, planning and then monitoring a project) be recorded in a live "blog" open to all viewers?
8. Should we limit communications to a newsletter once in a while?
9. Do we want to do a Fund-Raising Event to kick off our effort?
10. Or do we want to limit the financial contributions to our inner CHH circle?
- For now? For the pilot project? Forever?
