+== Q&A from NET Volunteers ==
+The following questions appeared in the chat during the online meeting, or were asked in the surveying process.
+===== Q: Are there ATV/VSF training curricula we can access now? =====
+'''A:''' There is not, yet. That would be part of what PBEM prioritizes building up if NETs want us to move forward with these realignment proposals.
+===== Q: If this NERF plan is adopted, how do we tell our neighborhood that we are no longer going to be their first responders? =====
+(Since teams may cover a smaller area)
+'''A:''' This proposal '''does not''' require that a person leading a NERF be an active NET volunteer. They do not need to be. As a non-NET, they can contact PBEM and say they're starting their own NERF. PBEM will support it. They will have access to the curricula, since it will all be published online.
+===== Q: There are no other active NETs within a reasonable walking distance of my house. How could I set up a NERF? =====
+'''A:''' I cannot emphasize enough that a NERF is designed to accept participation from non-NET volunteers. You don't need NETs to have a NERF; you don't even need a NET volunteer to lead one.
