What is missing from my perspective is:

* Adequate emphasis on operationalization in the sense of, as srs has
  put it, "move something out of the realm of word docs and powerpoint
  into real life policy and technology that gets broadly adopted".

* Adequate emphasis on developing (and then implementing) suitable
  strategies for achieving that goal of operationalization with regard
  to the above-mentioned objectives 1 and 2.

Greetings,
Norbert
