Impact potential	Is there a demonstrated need for the event? Are goals and intended outcomes clearly articulated, high priority, and reasonably achievable? Is it clear what kind of knowledge would be conveyed to participants, what type of networking would arise, and/or what types of decision-making and strategic development could occur? Is there a plan for follow up after the event?
Ability to execute	Are there enough community members with the time and ability to plan and execute the event? Are there goals that the participants could act on within a one year period that will likely lead to results or show progress?

conflicts of interest

Each each member of the committee will,

1. Review the WMF's Conflict of Interest Policy;
2. Disclose any possible personal, familial, or business relationship that could reasonably give rise to a conflict of interest or the appearance of a conflict of interest in the Conflict of Interest Questionnaire.

WMF and the committee will work together to appropriately address any conflicts of interest or potential bias that committee members identify, to maintain the integrity of the decision making process.
