Limited funds

No demonstration sites (appears to others that it is still experimental)

Long term implementation (not really a weakness but scares off some wanna be's)

Difficult to mobilize

Tons of great resources but not easily available

Most have full time jobs with no full time paid staff

Expanded exemplars of MCL ]]> 2019-05-23 20:11:15 UTC https://padlet.com/llaughlin/MCLimprovement/wish/363082861 https://padlet.com/llaughlin/MCLimprovement/wish/363277323 *  Limited capacity to brand and accelerate MCL (website; communication; acquiring funding)
*  Being brave here:  do we pretend to agree with what's on the table; and then return to our own vision/work which may not be aligned with the discussed focus for MCL....the reality that each organization has to maintain it's own solvency and so  work/products might actually be in competition of each other.  Sometimes I just have a funny feeling . . . may just be me.  Again, being brave here.
