The initial approach was to establish a Short-Mid-Long-Term strategy for the Working Group in order to properly set expectations for all participants and establish realistic priorities that can be accomplished in certain timeframes. Definitions: Short-term = 6-12 months; Medium-term = 12-18 months; Long-term = 18+ months
