Re: Actions before next week for Silver Functional Needs sub-group

Hereby my feedback, first would like to discuss the possible questions
about the user needs.
Like to get feedback on needs where I find it hard to distinguish the
differences as they seem to overlap.
After clearance I still need o do a dive into possible gaps if there are
any.

Comments in bold and red, if someone can't see it well enough I can send it
in another form.
