IMHO the wording is a little awkward given the inputs from so m= any people in working on our messaging. I took a shot at making it read a l= ittle smoother in this edition. Not a final draft just a more easily digest= ed version with my comments and some questions.

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-PNizgMsvPLbhKLwXv2ntSQpIbl0PcHp1= -ac38nq5Q8/edit?usp=3Dsharing\

I a= lso think the list of users is too comprehensive I pared that down and put = it into a project boilerplate I think we should pare it down farther as I am proud of our us= ers it does make things a bit hard to read.
