# The Clearer Thinking Proposal - due 14 July 2022

Instructions

* Try to be as concrete and clear as you can be in your responses so that we know precisely what your project is and what kind of impact you're aiming to have.

* Please keep each response to 1 sentence whenever possible, and do not exceed 3 sentences for any question, except for the one about the mechanism of impact (which can be up to 5 sentences long).

* Do not repeat the question in your response. Instead, please structure each response as a continuation of the sentence that started it. (For example, for the question, "This project is important because I believe it will lead to..." respond by writing the rest of the sentence, not by typing out "This project is important because I believe it will lead to..." again.)

* There is no time limit for completing this, but we hope that you'll spend no more than 20 minutes on this application form. Please don't overthink your answers and don't worry about writing in a polished way. 

Comment from Joseph: The opening form of the ClearThinking application presents a choice of only one among 10 categories. I reckon that to pick one it should be the “norms and values” one that maps to both Earth Reserve and DWDS (e.g. the overarching section on Design Norms / Design Virtues), as well as the free/libre licensing core rationale. Too bad they don’t support chosing more than one general category.
