Introducing Ourselves

Hello, I am Vivien Maidaborn and work for Loomio. My role here will be to support everyone into the group and then to run our learning sessions next week on Monday and Wednesday evening.
I am very excited about the Internet Party Policy Incubator. It so perfectly describes the reason we developed Loomio in the first place - creating tools for people to be more involved and have more say in the way democracy works. I am very much looking forward to meeting you all and working to get the Policy Incubator going.
You can get my attention by @mentioning me on @vivienmaidaborn, here in Loomio, I will get an email letting me know you want to connect or need a response in this group. My email address is [email protected]

Hi All,

I am Adrian and I put my hand up to assist as it is great to be the push behind the change.
Interested in seeing where this goes, and some of the great ideas that everyday NZ'ers can come up with.

@vivienmaidaborn Thanks for the Welcome!

Hey everyone,

My name is Tim, and I saw this as a fantastic way to use my existing qualification with political science to get involved with the Internet Party and help draft and guide policy.

I'm also running to be a candidate, so getting more and more experience is a fantastic chance for me.

@timkibblewhite Nice to meet you! Good luck with the running, which area?

@adrianstokes I noticed you arrive in the group, you must have seen the link the instant I sent it out - super fast:) Great to meet you, I really agree that it will be incredible to see what NZers come up with given the chance to participate at a real policy development level.

@adrianstokes Thanks, a pleasure to meet you too :) I'm running for the Canterbury region, specifically I'd like to run for the Ilam electorate as it's been my home since I moved to Canterbury

@timkibblewhite Awesome, Christchurch is my neck of the woods. Will be good to someone involved here that is looking to run :)

@victoriaclack @seanmoore @kahurangigoulton I see you are in the group, great you made it in here, I would love to hear abit about your focus and internet in the Policy Incubator:)

Hello, my name is Tobias Siataga and I am from Christchurch but currently live in Wellington. I am happy to be a part of something new and different from the world of politics.@vivienmaidaborn thanks for the welcome :)

Hi All, my name is Sue and I've offered to help because I think this will be a positive way to contribute to a change in mindset on certain topics that affect us all. It will certainly be an interesting journey and I look forward to helping drive some interesting discussion. @vivienmaidaborn I made it eventually :)
