Suggest you write and insert them rather than someone else guessing for you.
Personally I think the latter's implied by the mandate but whatever.

Not too much no, but I think it's worth emphasizing that these words didn't
just appear out of thin air, they were the product of several dialogues in
which all stakeholders signed off on them, and they had meaning and
intentionality.

Not just the last clause, but right, it would be useful to have dialogue
between those who do and don't think these particular items are compelling
and worth doing to see if any consensus can be reached on doing anything
related to any of them, and if not, why not.  See previous messages.
  
> could probably do with some editing down, but that can come later

If you think something doesn't need saying propose edits now, there is no
later.  I personally don't think it's worth fussing too much on the
wordcraft, the mAG will understand what this is and either approve it or
not.
 
Cheers,
