‘Go where the enemy is not.’  ‘Do not attack a walled city.’

Didn’t we read something like that?

FWIW

Great. Let me know how that goes. With all due respect to Rob, I've grown impatient with the at least 20+ years of aspirational hope under the network of networks and movement of movement banners. I've been looking into the Cynefin framework (see: https://thecynefin.co/) and particularly the EU fieldbook developed in collaboration with Cynefin on managing complexity (and chaos) in times of crisis (https://op.europa.eu/en/publication-detail/-/publication/712438d0-8c55-11eb-b85c-01aa75ed71a1https://op.europa.eu/en/publication-detail/-/publication/712438d0-8c55-11eb-b85c-01aa75ed71a1 <https://op.europa.eu/en/publication-detail/-/publication/712438d0-8c55-11eb-b85c-01aa75ed71a1https:/op.europa.eu/en/publication-detail/-/publication/712438d0-8c55-11eb-b85c-01aa75ed71a1> ). The one thing I have learned is that the key breakthroughs emerge from the margins, the gaps. the neglected corners and not the usual suspects. 

Hope to reconnect more in the future....

Take care, one and all, we were called to be present to this time...

Thanks, Ken

I intend to bring this model for discussion among climate change groups in Kingston, Ontario.

OK, I'm not  able to fully participate right now, but take a look at the Constellation Model for Governance, a Canadian innovation that captured the imagination of the neighborhood coalition I worked for over about 15 years although we did not quite push it through. It does provide one potential framework for mobilizing diverse networks of services and organizations across diffferent levels. Maybe still worth a look:
