RSA provides space at John Adam Street for a half-day informal meetup once a week on the lines of http://tuttleclub.wordpress.com/ The only requirement on Fellows is that they spend some of their time on how to develop RSA networking for civic innovation. Staff commit to dropping in as well.

Develop the fellows directory to enable opt-in tagging of entries by interest and especially locality to enable formation of on and off line groups that are locally based

Either a specific role for certain volunteer Fellows (with possible recompense for taking on such a role) or more hired staff (if feasible)

RSA staff and Fellows work together to create flexible communication toolkit for regions and interest groups as outlined here http://is.gd/jZtV The kits help Fellows organise meetups, use the RSA networks platform, and add in their own tools. RSA develops its own matching kit to make sure things join up

Identify and encourage Fellows willing to pass information on or teach online skills

A range of means to combine or aggregate outputs, filter mechanisms, or tagging -- with the ability to use tools you are comfortable with

Matthew Taylor's vision of a network for civic innovation inspired many of us in 2007. We now hear little of that - and it isn't clear how networking relates to overall RSA purpose. We need a new style of leadership (though not a new leader) which helps Fellows identify with and support overall RSA aims, and also contribute their own ideas within that broad framework. We need a clear invitation, and clear support.
