Thank for your input. There were some useful clarifications 
  and thoughts to add and refine the draft objectives. I attach version 3. 
  
   
  I propose the following process:
  1.  I inform the NC tomorrow that we (the business 
  plan task force) have reached agreement on this set of 
objectives.
  2.  We will now recommend this objectives list to our 
  respective constituencies in order to get their comments and possible 
  additions or recommended deletions.
  3. Based on that input we will draft the next part of the 
  plan - the strategies and actions required to meet these 
  objectives.
  Philip.
