# Sprint 6: Enabling open infrastructure

To establish a shared foundation of societal narrative, effective policies, digital infrastructure, and orchestration capacity that enables exponential change, together.

To mobilise the ecosystem, we must reduce the cost and complexity of making change thereby enabling many actors to solve problems. Aligning the ecosystem with a societal narrative and effective policies reduces silos and miscoordination. Leveraging open infrastructure and sharing resources reduces the cost of coordination and transaction. Every airline does not build their own airport, neither does everyone build their own Internet.

**Pre-requisite:** Actions / initiatives to assess and improve the ability of key ecosystem actors

**Pre-requisite:** An updated version of the design document (SDA5) based on sprint 5 outputs

**Downloadable assets** that are useful for preparing for / facilitating this sprint:

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://wiki.societalthinking.org/how-to-apply/the-sprints/sprint-6-enabling-open-infrastructure.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
