“Our sense is that this document-in-progress has already been helpful to RE-AMP, which is great. And we note that you’ve been finding additional value in the survey itself.

“So this feels like a good conclusion.

“Once we’ve heard from you…we will do final proof-reading, formatting and packaging, and add in the described attachments. Obviously, you’ll get a Word file. Is there any reason for us to produce and ship to you hard copies? (Seems un-green.)“

This is Gail speaking again: I have already taken a first crack at it, and my comments are in embedded in the attached document. Please send me any additional comments by close of business on Wednesday.

One other unrelated note, I don’t think I ever mentioned to this group that the person who was chosen at random to receive the up to $2,500 in professional development funds was Susan Ode from ICLEI (which stands for something like “International Council on Local Environmental Initiatives”). She is thrilled, of course. I asked her what she would use it for, and she said most likely for some training related to behavior-based programs, especially the psychology of getting people to commit to energy efficiency. When I asked if she would be willing to share what she’s learned via the Commons or Working Group she said something like, “Oh yes, that’s the great thing about RE-AMP! Everyone is always sharing information and strategies.” Considering I couldn’t remember ever hearing of Susan Ode, I had assumed she was not all that invested in RE-AMP, so it was kind of cool to get that response from her.
