Does incubation rise to the level of Vision?

[martinthomson]

There's a bullet point for Incubation in the Vision? Or is this better under a different title. I fear that the recent focus of the AB on incubation as a mechanism is either obscuring a more substantive issue or creating an item that does not belong on the same level as the other things.

Suggestion 1: Remove the bullet point entirely.
Suggestion 2: Give the bullet point a different title, one that focuses on the acquisition of new work for the organization.

I have a slight preference for the removal option. The relevance of the organization does depend on getting new work in, but this needs to be rooted in a technical vision, not an operational one.

As per #220, I do think this principle is about much more than just a mechanism; it's about a recognition that the Web isn't done and it should continue to evolve, we should encourage that evolution, but that it must be done with caution and collaboration. I would not be in favor of removal.

chair+editors have strong view this should be included.

Maybe it helps to explain the principle better? For example, how would you write the description of this principle if you couldn't use the word "incubation" in its own definition?
