Phases The proposal made in SC was to have different phases that new local nodes has to pass through: Phase 1: Learning (2-3 months) After a LN is created it receives first education training (political level, tools, practical steps) welcoming and support (all as part of new LN Area) Phase 2: Preparation for Sustainability Campaign if LN applies (1 month) The preparation includes Funding management, LN accounting, Human relation and local assemblies Phase 3: Sustainability campaign (6 months) LN can just enter this phase and get financial support when they got through the previous two phases (unclear until now what will be the conditions if a LN does not or don't need to apply for the sustanability campaign. What other kind of support they can get? Should they get through the Phase 1+2 as well?) Phase 4: possibility for post-campaign support (time span can differ) After the campaign is over LNs can ask for a fund for a specific project which includes a detailed project plan. Funding Funds can come from: FairFunds. It can be a credit system. We could start by funding some pilot projects (needs more discussion).
