final five recommendations

Randomran, thanks for the thoughtful response. I'm getting a clearer picture of what is and isn't the goal here, from your words and from reviewing the text again.

I think one of the things that contributed to my confusion is the way that Jayne Cravens' recommendations are presented. Her recommendations are not said to be this group's recommendations, but in the absence of some careful introductory text about how this group does regard the recommendations, I believe that is the natural assumption.

Her recommendations are much more specific than the "general level" you suggest; and furthermore, while I do not doubt that they are informed by "…experience regarding communications, community/volunteer involvement, and capacity-building for nonprofit organizations, non-governmental organizations/civil society, government-based community programs, and corporate philanthropy programs," they do not appear to reflect a very sophisticated understanding of how Wikimedia or its various sub-cultures and authoritative bodies operate. As any consultant will agree, general or preliminary recommendations are a very different thing the kind of recommendation that results from an in-depth client needs assessment and analysis.

So, I would suggest that we focus some attention on how her recommendations are introduced, lest we give the impression that merely implementing her specific recommendations is our general, strategic recommendation.
