It appears that all the responses to my comment perceive me to be recommending the Summit be spun off. I am not saying anything like that. I am commenting on the document and presenting what I think is a reasonable question in the mind of a reader. So the point is not to convince me that keeping the summit is a good idea. The point is to correct the shape of the document so that this question does not arise. Explaining how the Summit fits into the re-focused mission but the rationality training does not would do the trick.

I'm particularly happy that you are working on formalizing the problems. Does this represent a change (or compromise) in E's stance on doing research in the open?
