RE: Writing a mission statement

Thanks Marisa for putting this together!

This is just a stylistic thing, but I wonder if we invert the mission a bit so that we lead with the purposes, and then follow with the supporting activities?

CFC seems like a great idea.

Thanks,
Melanie

Thanks Marisa.

If anyone else has any comments or suggestions, it'd be good to hear them in the next few days.


I wonder whether we should hold a Call For Consensus (CFC) on adopting 
this statement? We're not bound by the W3C Process, but aiming for 
consensus seems like a reasonable thing to do.

The statement is here:
