Our first point will be to identify a mission which we can thereafter try to measure ourselves against. I am sending the attached page of short, medium and long versions and wonder which you think is easiest to measure, and whether you think there are elements which should be included that I left out. You know what weve been doing and how I think about it and so you will be well suited to advise. Thanks. I will also send you the other issues and am happy for any other comments.
