This guide should also save us time by providing one place to look for answers related to writing. This style guide also aims to increase the accessibility and inclusivitiy of our work. For example, through prioritizing plain language and putting information in a logical order, we strive to enable everyone to find the information they need and understand what they find.

This invite-only event took place online, and was open to those involved in the financing and resourcing of open infrastructure. Over the course of the week, participants helped to shape a pilot of a collective funding mechanism for open infrastructure. Participants discussed funding trends in open infrastructure; explored collective funding mechanisms and their feasibilities; and worked together to shape a first iteration of a collective funding mechanism for open infrastructure.

This is an IOI-internal process for setting up calls between IOI team members and external stakeholders. The goals of this process IOI team members should be able to independently set up calls and have conversations with external stakeholders and partners, and at the same time, we wish to be intentional in our engagement with stakeholders. "Intentional" here means that we are aware of IOI's existing relationship and past engagement with the person(s) we are speaking with and/or their organization(s), such that we make the most out of our time together and can effectively build on previous conversations. As with our other areas of work, We also want to make sure that there is documentation regarding these conversations, for transparency and visibility across the team and for future team members and work.
