Good stuff. A few opinions:

* I'd like to see reference to environmental impact of print; and a
requirement to balance outreach against this; with emphasis on the use
of electronic communications wherever possible.

* There should be a clear process for requesting, agreeing and
publishing press releases and other "broadcast" communications
(leaflets, posters etc, as opposed to wiki pages or mailing list
posts) *in a timely manner*. This should not involve board sign-off;
their job is policy, not micro-management.

* The strategy should refer to post holders' titles, not individuals'
names (just in case Stevie wins the lottery and decamps to the
Bahamas!)

* Video/ audio content should be available in accessible format to
deaf or blind people. Videos should be subtitled, and audio
transcribed, wherever possible.

* Similarly, all print material should include an offer to provide
large-print or audio copies, etc (or a URL for such).

* Photography (and event video) - due consideration should be given to
individuals who do not wish to be shown (or "outed"); especially
minors

ATB,
