See RFC 3935.  The others have prominent statements on their websites that seem clear.

I am OK with round 1 being 2 weeks on the basis that it not be the only iteration.

If the LLC supports IETF/etc, then a clear pointer to what you believe their missions are (see RFC 3935, above, for an example).  The IAB have a mission on iab.org.  Etc...

I will add that as an issue.

Otherwise, I think that this is broadly reasonable.  These are the things that I would expect the LLC to build a strategy around.  I would like to thank Jay and the board for doing the hard work here.

Thanks.

It is hard to see how the board views the priority of these without more context.  As presented, I don't know how each item factors in, both in terms of a) the amount of time, energy, and money that is dedicated to the effort, and b) the amount that it contributes to supporting the mission of the IETF and others.  It might be easier to understand this if it were possible to see how the board considers the relative weight of (for instance) the operational piece vs. the meetings piece.

That would be found at the next level down from this, which includes the budget and the list of projects it supports, the ED goals, and any operational plans that we develop.  It’s not yet clear when/how we will able to provide the operational plans with that level of detail or if that level of detailed planning is appropriate.
