Hi Job, As others pointed out I think the goals would benefit from being more precise.
As example I see third goal very generic which could include everything for next years to come ;) On the other hand if it is not explicit it may be harder for GROW to go via IESG with some work. Examples which I would suggest to get added: * work on ops practices of performance based routing * work on ops practices of sdwan deployments using bgp * work on ops aspects of internet te etc.. Many thx R.
