This was absolutely not our intent.

It was hard for us to figure out how to state this problem
without implying particular solutions (delegation,
reorganization, selection process reform, etc.), all of
which will be on the table for discussion in the "process"
document, but none of which should be dictated by the
"problem" document.

The text clearly does need to be tuned or re-worked, since it
gave you the impression that you mentioned above.  I thought
some of your re-wording was very good, and I'm sure that
Elwyn will consider it for the next revision (post-SF).
