If possible I would like to get in touch with somebody to whom I could send a short description of the plan I have. Kind regards, Frederik Rombach Dear sir/ madam,
I have a proposal for a project, that could well connect with the 10×10 project. If possible I would like to get in touch with somebody to whom I could send a short description of the plan I have.

Kind regards,

This should include many more architects that do work on the ground. There are so many projects out there that are designed, but never realised for implementation. Bringing in the international "expertise" does not guarantee that we create suitable human scale settlements and homes for people. How were the local architects selected in relation to this and how can other people become involved. Also note the terminology used is somewhat exclusionary too... Why is this an excluded process?
