Why has CN gone to an on-line request process?
CN has adopted an online application process for many reasons: 1. It simplifies the application process for community groups: our form requests only the information that CN requires to consider your request. There is no guessing on what we want or what is the best way to submit. 2. It provides a fair and level playing field for all community groups: CN wants to assess requests on their merit, not on the size or resources of the submitting organization. 3. It provides consistency for our reviewers. Our online application process ensures that we get the information we need every time and in a consistent format. 4. It improves our community responsiveness. By creating a single point of entry for all requests, we are assured that we can review all submissions in a timely and effective manner.
