Kathy, your document is very professional and well thought out. It has
good structure, but it has some fatal flaws.

Personally, I read it twice. 

The main problem with your document is that it deals with so many
different issues and tries to do that in one single document, there are
other issues that cuts deep into the very fiber of things Linux.

Maybe it will be a solution to start first by taking a vote about the
platform?

Instead of simply telling everyone that it has to be?

Maybe also, break things down into bite size proposals?

Or maybe simply try to force everything through all at once, the sheer
amount of time that it will take to opine on the many different issues
alone will see an increase in apathy.
