    Imo it doesn’t though. Thor misreads this as a legal document, but it is not, this is initiative, which is essentially to get the conversation started. If you’ll look at other initiatives, you’ll find they read pretty similarly. Stop trying to poke flaws in it like it’s a legal document, because it isn’t and isn’t meant to be!

      That’s a good point too, it shouldn’t be held to the standard of a legal document yet. I watched the video and definitely did that - forgetting its initiative nature. I think it could be helpful to specify the scope a little more so it doesn’t suffer from scope creep later and get nothing done, as well as bring some focus to the future discussions. But I’m reading some good points in this thread, and I’m curious to see where it goes. Fingers crossed!
