Special Initiative Groups
The Brights’ Net sometimes identifies an action or project well aligned with the overall aims that entails some level of association or cooperation with other organizations or entities. In such situations, a subgroup of the constituency may be created with its own label. Each Brights Action SIG formed will have a well-defined purpose. If the initiative involves ongoing activities, rather than single action, it will also have a defined mechanism for communication and action. SIGs may or may not have a leader or leadership team, depending on the nature of the initiative. Its membership may or may not be limited to a particular national citizenship or other criterion.
Brights can “sign into the SIG” and designate themselves participants in the specific initiative in order to bolster the explicit goal(s) or pursue action(s) for which the SIG is formed and they are qualified. The “members” act in unison (and in a precise manner) with other Brights. This method allows The Brights’ Net at any time to report out the number of persons who are “members” of a Brights Action SIG.
