I think on the whole this is a very good and
reasonable plan. A few comments below

I wonder whether Stéfan Sinclair from the ACH
would be a good choice to work with EB on this? I
know it's an issue he takes a strong interest in.
>B. Activities and initiatives (Espen)
>Key tasks:

Would Wendell be a good choice for this? he just
rotated off the ACH exec but he's imbued with
ACHness and might have some free cycles.

I agree with John, I think although this is
ambitious, it's worth making a strong attempt to
stick to this schedule.
Best wishes, Julia
