  3. What’s needed • From the SPO: • Collaborative leadership • Courage and competence to make choices and face the consequences • From the science community: • Write up what has been concluded here • Continue to bring coherence, seek broad support • From the engineering teams: • Write up what has been concluded here • Combine and conclude: integrate the good work, prepare for tough decisions on top-level issues.
