I just posted some notes that may be of help for your discussion and 
proposal at

https://www.w3.org/International/wiki/Activity_Streams_direction_notes

These notes are not proposals, just observations and lines of thought 
that may be germaine to the topic.  There were some things i mentioned 
on the telecon that were a little complicated to discuss in the time 
available - i thought through those things while creating the page.

It's definitedly possible that i'm misunderstanding something about how 
Activity Streams works, and if so i hope you help me to a better 
understanding gently.

I also reopened https://github.com/w3c/activitystreams/issues/336 since 
i think that's the issue we were discussing on Thursday. I added a link 
to the above notes.

hope that helps,
