Commonwealth Dialogues
Please take the time to complete the survey attached in this email and also copied below. This survey is used as a guide for CNMI sunrise meetings,which began several weeks ago and will continue for a few more weeks; individual responses to this survey are also sought.
Your responses to these seven questions will help develop a long-term vision for our community, identify promising and viable candidates who share that vision, and begin mobilizing the resources and support needed to bring about open, honest, and responsive government that serves the best interests and aspirations of all the people of the CNMI.
The questions are:
1) What should the role of government be in the Commonwealth?
2) What are the most important opportunities facing the Commonwealth, and what should be done to maximize them? What are the most important challenges facing the Commonwealth, and what should be done to resolve them?
3) What specific government reforms should be prioritized for enactment?
4) To most effectively bring about needed changes in government, should concerned citizens of the Commonwealth focus on: 1) organizing a coalition of candidates and supporters behind a common platform; b) organizing a new political party; c) joining and/or reorganizing an existing political party; or d) taking up another course of action? Please explain.
5) What core principles and values should guide the government of the Commonwealth?
6) What should life in the Commonwealth be like five years from today? Ten years from today?
7) What are the names of individuals you would like to see in public office? Please specify the public office, and describe the strengths and potential weaknesses of these individuals.
