Community conversation planner ASIF website starter guide · 2026-10-18 Prepared for this website. Not an official ASIF policy, training manual or application form. Turn a broad community worry into a conversation that gets somewhere. DEFINE THE CONVERSATION - What is the issue, in one sentence? - Who is affected, and whose perspective has not yet been heard? - What should people understand or decide by the end? PLAN PARTICIPATION - Choose an accessible time and location. - Invite people with different perspectives and explain the purpose in advance. - Agree on respectful discussion and ask before recording or sharing anyone’s contribution. KEEP A RECORD - Note the questions raised, the areas of agreement and the points that remain uncertain. - Separate direct observations from assumptions. - Avoid including private details that are not needed for the agreed next step. AGREE ON WHAT HAPPENS NEXT - Write down a small, specific action, a willing point of contact and a date to check progress. - If you want support from ASIF, share the topic, location and type of help you are seeking.
