2. Rhythm of the 4 stages of each phase

3. Cycle Dates divided into Phases
Three-month cycles of activity through which a community grows—the burst of expansion experienced as a result of intense action; the necessary period of consolidation during which increases in ranks are fortified as they, for example, participate in devotional gatherings and the Nineteen Day Feast and receive visits at their homes; and the opportunities designated for all to reflect and plan. The question of teaching among receptive populations moves to the foreground in this light, and the challenge of seeking out souls who are willing to engage in a conversation about the world around them and participate in a collective effort to transform it comes into focus.

5. Proposed cycle dates during which we have 4–5 Feasts each
For purpose of general use we decided to name each of the 4 quarters A – B – C – D starting from Riḍván to Riḍván
We realize that many community have their cycles numbered by now, but want to break down each one for study.

Many communities do their consultation and plans for action during Feasts. This is the time when individuals or the LSA’s share their ideas and collaborations. Each cycle has 4–5 Feasts, so it allows for several opportunities to come together and plan as a team.
It also allows for a better attendance for forthcoming Reflection Meetings that offers opportunities for intercommunity help and collaborations.

10. Some metrics to be considered?
This exercise is not meant to be a collection of Regional Bahai statistical collection duplication, more or less a personal reflection on our own personal/teaching team collaborations.
Here are some metrics for consideration such as:
How many of you have volunteered to be trained?
How many of us are not actually out there teaching the Faith?
How many of us are actually bringing seekers to events?
How many of those actually started to attend Core Activities?
How many one on one or public presentations did you make?
What type of events was attended by most of your seekers?
How many seekers accompanied you?
How many of your seekers became a Baha’i?
