 Background & Recent Developments

• After more than two years of seeking alternative funding strategies and not being able to secure a long-term future for the Knowledge Ontario vision, the Board decided to pursue an alternative strategy.
•  
• Our Executive Director and Communication Director took jobs outside of the library field in the Autumn of 2011.
•  
• Gap. Point. Reach. Inc. (GPR Inc), and the firm's Principal were hired to provide the Board with strategic alternatives going forward.
•  
• GPR Inc. developed a plan which was mindful and respectful of the users of the KO suite of services.
•  
• In late December, the Board met and approved a number of objectives and actions. 

 Objectives & Actions

• Make every effort to preserve the service essence of Ask, Our and eResources for those who value them.
•  
• Find homes for Ask, Our, and eResources where the chance of ongoing success is highest. Failing to find homes, make decisions about winding these services down which are in the best interest of all involved.
•  
• Disperse KO assets (money, equipment, intellectual property, etc) to stable or committed torch-bearers who will give best‐effort for ongoing support and operation.
