Great article Laura. I particularly liked your thoughts on the spreadsheet. As a member, I, too, found that very powerful to keep track of every feedback comment coming in and the status of each.
Not a big issue, but in the second sentence in your last paragraph, there is a typo, "revising" should be "revisiting".
Just after finishing this article, the "SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT REPORT 2021" came out. It shows that 2020 was a bad year for the SDG. Also, it mentions that funding was a problem which a presented slightly in the presentation. The report offers financing suggestions that have Open Organization Principles in them. If you're interested in further study, have a look: https://www.sdgindex.org/reports/sustainable-development-report-2021/
