Some ideas are good, some ideas are unfocused, some ideas are bad. But you'll notice that only a few of all of these ideas are actually taken beyond this Braindump stage, since doing that will require actual effort and commitment. Relatively few marketing projects have reached that stage yet, mostly because a most of the talk on this list has been, well, talk: Ideas, calls for structure, to-do's and so forth, but little concrete work.
Open Source is driven by work, not talk. If you have good ideas, show us. Get us involved. Otherwise, please contribute to some of the other ideas already being actively pursued. You make it sound like we cannot proceed before we have agreed on the values you propose. But I think most here take these values to be self-evident, and want to get on with the actual marketing effort already. If you want grand, centrally organized marketing campaigns, I'm afraid you've come to the wrong place. This is strictly grassroots stuff. The best we can do is to help with ideas that resonate with us. I'm sure that you'll find that most of these ideas are very good indeed. I've taken the liberty to update the Marketing Team projects list [https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MarketingTeam], and to be honest, there is more than plenty to get started on. Pick a project, and help make it happen!
