Ad Valvas & More Mature Alternatives to Plain Old E-Mail (POEM

With a mind to convert their about statement to StratML format, I 
checked out Ad Valvas at https://vu.nl/en/about-vu/more-about/ad-valvas 
& https://advalvas.vu.nl/en/about-us#redactie


I see the following descriptive text:

    In a magazine which is distributed on VU campus and through the
    website Ad Valvas reports independently on developments in
    education, science and at the university, so far mainly in Dutch.

    Ad Valvas wants to initiate and facilitate opinion forming on topics
    that concern staff and students, and thus involve the entire VU
    community.

While I have little doubt that it provides value to its readers, I don't 
believe another magazine, website, or bunch of opinions is very 
"progressive" -- in the sense of being transformationally more efficient 
or effective in enabling the achievement of human objectives.

 From my perspective, the place to start is with the objectives 
themselves.  The tools, apps, and services should enable those with 
common and complementary objectives to contribute the resources and 
processing required to achieve them.

My initial, rough draft of a plan for Moving to a Higher Level of 
Maturity than E-mail is available at 
https://stratml.us/carmel/iso/BP4BQCwStyle.xml  If anyone would like to 
join Chris Fox and me in using his StratNavApp to flesh it out, I'll be 
happy to send an invitation to log into the draft on his app.  One of 
its features is to focus E-mail transmissions on the elements of the 
plans in question.  While that is not the end state for which we should 
be aiming, it is a step in the right direction and may be one that is 
necessary to move to higher levels of process maturity
