Are you being deliberately vague about what "usually" and "very similar" mean? For an explanation of what the working group believes has been achieved this is probably sufficient. In practice we will have to arrive at a clearer understanding of the conditions under which "usually" and "very similar" are satisfied. That can probably await detailed discussions of success criteria, though, and perhaps doesn't have to be, indeed perhaps cannot be, solved now. In general I think the proposed wording is clear and expresses what is intended.
