    10 The group required several dierent acilitators at dierent phases in its early evolution. Reed had initially brought in a sub-

    contractor to do the systems map, but he says this consulting rm was overly ocused on the end product and not eective at

    engaging stakeholders in the process. So Reed replaced them with a second consultant who reworked the systems map in a more

    participatory ashion.

    11 RE-AMP initially ocused on reducing emissions in just the energy sector 80 percent by 2030; since that time they have broadened

    their ocus, adjusting the goal to reducing overall emissions in the region 80 percent by 2050.

    12 The phrase Big Hairy Audacious Goal was rst used by authors Jim Collins and Jerry Pouras in their book, Built to Last. The

    emergent RE-AMP network ound it useul to have one overarching long-term goal that provided direction but did not dictate the

    path to get there.

    13 They identied our interdependent steps toward achieving an 80 percent reduction in atmospheric carbon rom the electric sector

    by 2030: a 2 percent reduction in electricity use per year; a 57-times increase in renewable energy generation; a complete halt on

    new coal plant construction; and the retirement o 75 percent o the existing coal feet.

    14 According to RE-AMPs membership guidelines, a nonprot may join as a member i it agrees to the big picture goal, agrees to

    share inormation, participates in a working group, responds to inquiries and requests rom the network, designates a point per-

    son to go through training, votes in the steering committee elections, and aids communication between the network and the mem-

    ber organization. Allies get updates and have access to networking but dont have voting rights and are generally less engaged.

    15 Initially there were two groups ocused on coal: those interested in retiring existing coal and those who wanted to stop new coal

    plants rom being built. Eventually these two groups were merged into one.

    16 Wheeler was brought on as the rst ull-time network sta person in 2007, with other sta members added later. Up to that point,

    these unctions were carried out by Reed, with support rom the steering committee. Wheeler now coordinates the annual meet-

    ings, manages the other sta, develops the budget and nancials, helps with undraising and administration, supports the steering

    committee, and essentially ullls a role similar to a COO.
