How To Self-Organize Tipping Point Networks
To Catalyze A Globally Sustainable Economy

1. Create a sustainability vision statement that is inspiring, daunting and measurable.


2. Identify the very diverse constituencies most important to that vision.


3. Select no more than 30 "key innovators" to be members (one from each constituency) including at least 5 philanthropists who can fund initiatives co-created in the group. Diversity in areas of race, age, economics and social spheres should be well represented.


4. Candidates should meet the criteria below:
   1. High standing in their constituency;
   2. Gives back most in that constituency;
   3. Deep integrity;
   4. Advanced collaboration skills;
   5. Conscious that we are all one;
   6. Passionate about sustainability;
   
   
5. Schedule a Founders' Retreat in nature for the 30 to design the optimal network, operating on the principle that "a deal is a good deal when it is good for all concerned."


6. Implement the founders' design for the future that works for all the constituencies, with members self-funding the network.


7. Self-organize, using these standards:
• Everyone does what they love to do, does extremely well, and as little else as possible.
• Everyone has equal time at the mike.
• All information is available to all the members all the time.
• Members do their best to return phone calls in 48 hours.


8. Agendas of meetings give equal respect to the sharing of 'inner work' people are doing (spiritual inquiry of any kind) and outer work that results from these resulting insights - "Being the change you want to see in the world." (See "Presence," by Peter Senge et al.)


9. Members educate themselves and each other about sustainability, analyzing which initiatives most deserve their support to achieve the mission they have chosen. Members implement the initiatives with the highest priorities.
