Suggested new final sentence: “Conversely, if policy products are poorly managed and/or out of date, then they can become significant constraints to effective change.”

Just to be clear if we make the Exec Summary a Committee Note as is being proposed the question of normative doesn't come into play, everything is regarded as being non-normative.

Fair point, but it is a standard after all so that is the essence of its raison d’etre.  If we were to, say, move it to an appendix/annex we would want to be sure that that was normative, under OASIS rules..

Chris and John,

 

I agree with Chris that this would be best as a separate document, there is much more chance of it being read by the target audience.

 

I think Chris has taken a sound approach in assembling, and I agree that this will make keeping the document in line with the Framework itself much easier.  As a result the only suggestion I've made in the attached version is to merge and reduce two paragraphs into one, see what you think (it also removes another one of those errant references to cities).  My main question is whether including the conformance criteria is the right thing to do?  As well as nearly doubling the length, it introduces new terms and concepts that haven't been explained.

 

Regards,

Mark
