A Consultative SP is one in which you are asking GWS2011 attendees to offer their expertise to help you plan your project. Please indicate whether your Consultative SP is "One-Time Only" — meaning you are asking GWS2011 attendees to meet with you just once for a specified number of hours while they are in New Orleans, with no follow-up asked for or expected — or whether you are asking for an "Extended Commitment" in which GWS2011 attendees both meet with you for a specified number of hours while they are in New Orleans AND will engage in follow-up meetings via conference call or email.

A Hands-On SP is one in which you are asking GWS2011 attendees to "get their hands dirty" and help you work on a specific task that involves physical labor for a specified number of hours while they are in New Orleans.

If your SP is "Consultative (Extended Commitment)," describe the type and duration of additional activities:

If you checked "Consultative (Extended Commitment)" above, please describe the kind(s) of additional activities you are asking GWS2011 partiicipants to commit to, and the length of the commitment. For example, the description could read something like: "After the initial consultation in New Orleans, we will need participants to continue to work with us for approximately 6 months, during which time we will hold conference calls, interact through email, and ask participants to help draft and review a project master plan."

If your SP is "Hands-On," do participants need to bring anything?:

If you marked "Hands-On" above, please indicate whether you will supply all needed tools and equipment (including such items as work gloves & safety glasses) or whether participants will need to bring some or all of their own. Also indicate what type of clothing participants should wear.
