Josh,

I think this is a matter of not whether but how and to what extent. 
I had been thinking about something like this for Obama's Citizen's
Briefing Book, but that is over and this is better anyway.

I'm curious about which items on the list were disagreed with.  The
problem I see with the list is that it pays attention to several
causes celebres (not that they're invalid) over some of the deeper,
non-glamorous issues.  But as designers we should be used to that
starting point.  :)

As to being tied to a government, I agree there are many issues to
think through, especially for international organizations.  However,
there is much to learn from groups that have been in similar
quandaries, for example, faith-based groups over the past decade or
so.  We know we have certain ideals and aims that we do not want to
compromise, but I believe there is a way to walk the path of "both"
and not "either/or".

My vote is to proceed and be wise about it as we go along.

Phillip

p.s.  I did not get to meet you at the conference, but I enjoyed
hearing you on Jared's panel and had a great workshop with Liya and
Jeanine.  Sounds like your team really enjoys their work.
