The Risk That Got Left Out

Before sharing the proposal, Maya asks how people who don't use the internet sign up, and the team opens up a second option. Say a question before we send this, there's a form on the library page, and what about people who don't use the internet, this could inadvertently exclude those people, an alternative route would be to sign up at the front desk, with a paper list and a phone, and so two routes.
