This is how David Wilcox reported the moment.
After all the virtual working of the past few weeks it seemed essential
that we did more than just wing a pdf to John Craig and colleagues at
the Cabinet Office. Time for hard copy – so Simon took the train and
bike down from Warwickshire, Dan brought the camera, and we all met up
outside the Office of the Third Sector for a proper delivery of the
package. I asked Simon if he felt the effort had been worthwhile, and
whether the open process had brought something extra to the proposal.
Of course, he had to say yes … but I know from conversations we've
had, as well as his reply here, that it is a heartfelt yeeeah!!! As
you'll hear in the interview, we got lots of new ideas and
relationships, and it isn't over yet. By the way, if others who put in
a bid want to go naked at this late stage, we would be happy to host
their proposals on the site. Maybe open a poll ….. You can get
carried away with this openness. Meanwhile, you can find what's in the
package here, with encouragement to continue to contribute.
