Dear Sirs, while I think your initiative and effort are laudable I'm
afraid it still remains at the surface of the sustainability problem.


 I'm working on my doctoral dissertation and I've gone all the way down
to the root of the problem. The hypothesis of my research states the
fundamental underlying factor behind project sustainability is the
organizational structure, or design principle, in place.


I would suggest you review some articles about the SC (Search Conference)
and PDW (Participative Design Workshop) by their designers and creators Fred
and Merrelyn Emery who have been working on it for about 50 years.


Best regards,
