+100.

And to do that, we need funded projects. And for that, we need:

1) definitions of projects that are worth of funding, in the eyes of the potential funder (not ours)
2) teams associated with those proposed projects that are fundable because they have a track record of (over-)delivering similar projects
3) … and whose members have a singular focus on delivering the results of the projects, rather than, as Jacky says, yak shaving.

I’m working on two of those, if you are, too, reach out? (Suggest off-list, this is a standards group after all)
