Russell suggests we have a weekly at PGE Park after we get the Moonlight Staffing node back up.

Onward Oregon is a non-profit, all-volunteer group that has a large advocacy base. They are interested in working on issues around public ownership of communications structure, particularly a municipal fiber infrastructure.
- Onward Oregon has about 17K Portlanders on their action alert e-mail list. If there were a targeted action, they could contact that list.
- Possible action would be tied to MetroFi turn-off. Two actions:

  - Contact city-council and ask them to support municipal fiber.
- They will send a template for us to assist in writing the action alert.
To-Dos:
