This sounds very good.  Whilst fully agreeing that individuals should
write and submit their own inputs, I'm also very hopeful that there will
be enough collaboration on this that we can agree to post it to the BB
platform for endorsement once finished.  This can create a powerful
counterpart to what the HLLM will be submitting, with its very
problematic membership and murky process.

My only suggestion in terms of the process of finalising this work is
that you (also) seek feedback on it on the summit at lists.bestbits.net
list, which we established for those who asked for a more private shared
working space to discuss inputs into the summit.  This doesn't of course
prevent others from using the main list, or private email to you,
depending on what they are comfortable with.
