yes, I agree with Avri and Stephanie -

instead of primary, fundamental, essential, or even important would work 
better than my original suggestion.

Also agree with Stephanie's suggestion to reiterate the values.

+1 Avri.  I was thinking "fundamental" might work but I like "essential " 
better, I think.
I was wondering if it would be worthwhile also so reiterate the values that 
are mentioned in the press release, or a broader statement of values.  We 
need to hang on very strongly to the "free and open" etc. values, it does 
not go without saying in a multi-stakeholder model.
