Could a unified consensus of what is wanted in products please be presented
by the Board to potential groups? Round 1 seems to have been "Here use
these accepted PRD's and communication as a guideline for what we want."
Round 2 seems to be "Don't use these accepted PRD's and communication as a
guideline of what we want."

I realize that this new all around and 'We know what we like when we
finally see it." but  a little help might make this not a daily exercise of
frustration.
