Inside of NET are some problems that need solving (some widely recognized and some not). The NET program has a few long standing creaky problems that should be addressed, '''''and''''' changes are happening (at both the PBEM bureau level and the City government level) that open opportunities and create change factors we should move on. To wit:
=== NET meeting numbers are generally low ===
<br />
This was happening before COVID, but the pandemic certainly appeared to exacerbate the problem. Not all teams are in this situation, but many Team Leaders report low meeting turnouts. At the same time, PBEM fairly consistently sees high turnouts for deployments. So, we suspect the reason low meeting turnout is happening is not because volunteers are unengaged.  
 
<br /><br />
<br /><br />
4.) '''ISSUE: NET meeting attendance is consistently low.''' There are probably many reasons for this. But what seems readily apparent is that people have busy lives, and that teams have a lack of direction because there is a lack of direction around operations plans.
<br />
<br />'''5.) ISSUE: NETs want neighborhood scale response planning, but also want to preserve the community/social aspects and training aspects of Portland NET.'''
