#Design challenge – (crowdsource) learn parameters, submit your designs of the icons
#Have a class of law students draft the legal orthogonal statements
#Have a group of lawyers/students poke holes/test the orthogonal statements and assess how to make them binding/link to standard language in terms of use contracts
#Design challenge – (crowdsource) for each orthogonal statement have people submit visual themes or ideas that might convey the essence of that statement
#Design challenge - run a competition to design the "look and feel" of the icons
#Crowdsource challenge – Ask community members to test the logic of the icons. Where do the icons work and when to they break (e.g. works in a business setting, not in personal setting or a given icon does not work on website "x")
