Unclear question?
Lyne, your report makes me think that the brief itself has been framed in an unclear way. I would be interested in the actual patterns of allocation of time and effort rather than the guiding principles. In an earlier mission and earlier interactions we had you told the story of how you tried to put together a Francophonie opengov project. That entailed a lot of hustling, proselitizing, banging on close doors. It also brought to a difficult decision, that of throwing in the towel and quitting. This is a superimportant question: knowing when to quit and when to persevere. I myself have not cracked that one.
It is more of these concrete activities I would like to see spelled out in “the quest for paid work”. I guess in your case you could say: in order to get to my objectives (not so different from yours), I invested a lot in networking and social media. I could say that I invested a lot in academic knowledge, reading and writing essays and books.
Were you misled by the brief? Or is it simply that you prefer to think in a more abstract, Paulo Coelho-like way?
