lend a portion of its infrastructure and its time and its endowments to this integrated model of network
This reads a lot like the challenges of building and operating a writing across the curriculum, or embedded information literacy initiatives. Stakeholders across all levels and disciplines want digital literacy (and writing and info lit) to "improve" but often there is not a political will for it to really happen. Is it a question of overwhelm? Feeling like it's "not our job"? I think often of the assumptions about these literacies and how respective groups frame their perceptions of other's abilities through their own lenses. This is what I see as so important about the proposed "3rd step" - making the process local to account for their own contexts.
