[NCSG-PC] EPDP support activities / "Backroom"

Sun Jul 29 23:11:25 EEST 2018

Hi all,

I have been working on our own Document Repository; here’s a first draft on Google Docs:

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ElaeXAEcsxpju6q_mLP6R7waIFOJJAJTf_-X3cBFMmc/edit?usp=sharing

I am sure there is a lot missing; you’ll even notice that there are a few resources without a link, so if you happen to have a copy of a missing file, please can you send it my way?

This document is open to all to edit, so please do expand upon the contents if you have anything to add.

Best wishes,

Ayden

We also need resources sorted so that we can find them....not my forte but we may have volunteers who could take this on.  Even just to gather all the supporting documents in one place  (e.g. letters from DPAs, legislation, etc).
