CB.7:4.1 - Name the contribution and the failure it should remedy

Describe what participants need to receive. For example, a local session needs an attainable place and a prepared host; new members need an answer from someone who can help; a reference needs corrections returned to its maintainer. Recover what currently happens, including work performed before and after the visible event.

Identify which part depends on a particular person and why. They may hold the only key, know the relevant specialist, settle a disputed responsibility or supply the explanation nobody else can give. These are different replacement problems. Reassigning the meeting chair will not replace an unavailable specialist. When capable organisers cannot notice or support several aspects of the activity at once, consider the variant for temporary participant groups in :4.7.

Make the commitment small enough to understand and large enough to complete. Agree the intended result, next occasion, expected effort, relevant conditions, available support and a point at which the person can reconsider. Name any preparation, follow-up or emotionally demanding incident work; an hour hosting a meeting may require several hours beyond the meeting itself.

Separate the work from the authority it needs. A volunteer may arrange an event within an existing offer but need a venue owner to approve access and a community decision-maker to change membership conditions. Use the effective arrangements supplied by CB.13 or the relevant organisation. OCE.6 can obtain an assignment and enabling contributions where those need to be established.
