The previous 'Help Most Needed' list was presenting information in a way that focused on the desires of the community rather than the value that sponsoring organisations can generate - for both themselves and the commons. Replace the list with a new list of 'Upstream Investment Opportunities', and a process to keep them current by removing them after they have been on the list for between 6 months and a year, so that the submitter is forced to reaffirm their interest and the TC is forced to re-evaluate the relevancy. Since the current 'Help Most Needed' entries are generally not written in a style emphasising the value to a business of investing, the initial list is empty and will be filled as the TC evaluates business cases according to its new criteria and understanding of the needs of potential contributing organisations. To preserve the existing information, the contents of the current 'Help Most Needed' list appear as the 2018 upstream investment opportunites. Links to the old list will temporarily redirect here until such time as the new entries are in place, at which point we can redirect to the main page with the latest index.

Summary

|
|
Briefly describe the general field in which contributions are sought.
|
|
|
|
Business Case
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
Describe a business case for investment from the point of view of the
|
|
organisation paying for the contributions. Readers need a way to identify
|
|
whether their organisation is one that would benefit from this specific
|
|
upstream investment, so be sure to include that. The business case should also
|
|
describe exactly how the investment is expected to save them money, create
|
|
additional (monetary) value, reduce business risk, or all of the above.
|
|
|
|
Technical Details
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
Describe in more detail the nature of the contributions sought, and the
|
|
prerequisites that candidates attempting to help should begin with. You should
|
|
also describe the nature and extent of the mentoring that is on offer to
|
|
anybody who takes the work on.
|
|
|
|
Contact
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
List at least one point of contact to help potential contributors get started.
