We think that four or five major priorities in the SDS would help to focus beyond the thematic areas. Pick four or five action items that are priorities and then add budget items, line items, the resources being spent, and indicate results. You should actually indicate results. Lay down some performance metrics in time. Trade-offs are also important. Tie in the SD with the social aspects and talk about some of the trade-offs. A lot of the activities have strategic environmental assessments, regulatory analyses, or all kinds of policy assessments. One can agglomerate those trade-offs and make them clear so we know what we're getting for what we spend.
