I think a little more like the latter; I think people's understanding
of "objective" seems to be either an immediate task (maybe like "this
quarter") or else something really big (more like "vision" in a formal
model). I was aiming for what's possibly a _series_ of objectives over
a 12-18 month period. I also like "work items spread across multiple
areas" from your second point - that's one of the reasons we wanted
these at the Council level.
I think that both work. I'd like the input of some non-American English
speakers for which is more commonly understood. That's the one we
should pick.
