Sorry slip on the keyboard..

MRD + PRD go hand in hand.

The market requirements document ( MRD ) describe the opportunity or the 
market need like why the user should chose Fedora Workstation over 
anything that the other distribution have to offer or are out there on 
the market, what advantages it will bring him etc.

The product requirements document ( PRD ) describe a product that 
addresses that opportunity essentially how the output from the 
workstation WG will proved that added functionality.

So the first step in the process is to complete the MRD the second step 
is to complete the PRD and I'm not aware of anyone in the marketing 
community writing MRD for any of the WG's ( or the WG's themselves 
coming up with one ) and these goes hand in hand.

For this process to effectively work as advertised both steps need to be 
complete not just the half of it.

In addition to that applying something like PRD's on open community is 
rather a bold move since it's purpose is very specific.
