Right on!

As Richard alluded, I was recently in touch with @Dr-G who worked on [Internews’ Open Source Software Needs Assessment toolkit](https://internews.org/areas-of-expertise/global-tech/resources/open-source-software-lightweight-needs-assessment/) – which [we discussed here](https://discourse.sustainoss.org/t/governance-readiness-working-group/298/72) as a potentially relevant counterpart to the components of the Governance Guide that we’ve been (very slowly) developing. Gina has moved on from Internews but gave me a contact there with whom I can follow up.

In my mind, these components – [the principles and matrix of questions](https://sustainoss.org/working-groups/governance-guidance/), plus a needs assessment tool, and also maybe just maybe [Community.Rule](https://Community.Rule) – could be different components that assemble into something truly valuable. A Governance Guidance Voltron.
