WiserEarth Strategic Planning
Towards a clear, cogent and compelling vision for WiserEarth
A group that will explore possible positioning options for WiserEarth and outreach to the WE community for input. The output of the process will be a Planning Document & Positioning Statement which will inform other WiserEarth activities - particularly the UI redesign. This is not an exercise in developing or improving the WE logo.
