What do we agree on?
I've been watching this discussion. Was not sure what to contribute... until I realized most of us are not sure what to contribute.
I think there's a danger in trying to make the recommendations any more concise. Already, the summaries leave out important details. The other day, someone said "wait, the recommendation to 'improve consensus building' doesn't offer any tangible ways to do that!" Of course, if you go into the recommendation, you see a lot of detailed suggestions. Moreover, you see facts to back it up, so we're not just asking the board to blindly follow them. Summarizing it has made the recommendation less clear, and increased the possibility of failure.
You can abstract all these recommendations, but eventually you end up back at general ideas like "improve usability" and "focus on quality".
I think we could use a bit more feedback from the board. If they're reading all the recommendations, then there's no value in summarizing or shortening them. If the real issue is that they don't like some of the recommendations, then we need to know which ones, so we can either improve them, take them apart and recycle them, or abandon them altogether.
