Thanks for raising this question, Gordon. I hope it is clear from my pushing the goals initiative [2] this cycle that I want the TC to be a bit more active than it has been in encouraging project teams to take specific action so the whole project is moving in common direction. On the other hand, the process for selecting those goals is intended to incorporate a lot of input from the community and it could also characterized as "reactive" to what the community wants. I think that's the balance we want to have: listen to input, collect information, then clearly set the direction without over-prescribing the implementation.
