== Timeline ==
If volunteer surveying suggests that we move forward, implementation will happen in steps and phases. I believe it would take a year to fully implement this plan.
=== Phase 1 (these steps would happen concurrently) ===
* PBEM signs contract with [[wikipedia:Geographic_information_system|GIS provider]] to map neighborhoods.
* Update the NET Guidelines in key areas (ATV policies, VSFs, etc).
* Develop the NET Training Center "Cookbook" in the Wiki with the help of volunteers throughout the State.
* Finalize the Speakers' Bureau, allowing NETs to request preparedness presentations.
* Complete volunteer position descriptions on key VSFs such as comms, medical, etc. so that NETs can assign them to ATVs.
* Complete online surveying tools for Capacity Assessment, Capacity Planning, and response frameworks.
=== Phase 2 (these steps would happen in order) ===
# PBEM calls for interested volunteers to declare themselves as Training Centers.
# [[File:BEECN Dashboard.png|alt=The BEECN dashboard is, essentially, a pilot for a Capacity Planning dashboard.|thumb|400x400px|''The BEECN dashboard is, essentially, a pilot and model for a Capacity Planning dashboard.

# PBEM publishes the Training Center directory, and training events are managed through the calendar in MIP.
# PBEM reviews revised Team Service Areas.
# Response Framework dashboard goes live.
=== Phase 3 (these steps would happen concurrently) ===
* Block-scale teams begin their Capacity Assessment process.
* PBEM publishes response framework scoring to the dashboard as Capacity Plans and Response Frameworks arrive at PBEM.
* Produce and introduce task books for key VSFs.
* Block-scale teams head into their two-year cycle.
* Groups of block-scale teams glom together (as an option) into federations of response teams.
