This page will introduce and explain how the various supporting teams behind each Brief are organized and how they work. Theirs is essentially a function of bringing in their world-level, hands-on experience in the specialty area of that Brief, and then periodically inputting reviewing and feeding back to the main authors and editorial team.

Interviews and brainstorming sessions:

At the outset of each project the support group will be invited to get together to draw up collectively a short questionnaire to take the form of virtual interviews with each of the expert participants, who will in each case be invited to respond in turn as they think most appropriate, adding their own materials and points as they believe to be most useful. These will then be used by the internal editorial in support of that Brief and as part of the drafting process.

The panelists will then be given an opportunity to review and comment the final working draft before publication - and where they have additional views or reservations they wish to express that are not covered in the final twenty-page document, these will be made available in a convenient annex to round out the report.

We feel that it is important that the Briefs reflect the diversity of views and positions of each supporting teams, appropriate in light of the differences between cities and inevitable points of view depending on the particular perceptive of each participant. All aspects of the process are open and democratic, as befitting what is after all a Self-Organizing Collaborative Network.

Participants will be invited to attend a small number of virtual editorial and brainstorming sessions, that will use either Skype group voice conferencing or videoconference. All organizational details will be communicated from Paris well in advance of each group event, and times will be chosen so as to bridge the considerable clock gaps as best we can.
