[Advocacy Advisors] Aligning advocacy goals to mission

[James Salsman]

I've had the opportunity to address some of the substantive objections to
including general issues affecting the editor base in advocacy goals
off-list, and I would like to propose something different as an alternative.

I propose that we establish quantative measures of potential advocacy
actions which score the extent to which they would advance the mission. In
practice, this would mean using aggregate rubric scores for each clause of
the mission, asking a randomly selected subset of the community how much
success in a specific advocacy goal would advance that clause, and then
using the median (not mean, to prevent outlier effects) scores to rank the
different potential advocacy actions.

Here is some background information on organizations which have done
similar things:
