Matthew,

I collate your previous remarks on the Topic Of Objective.

Remark 1

Cf. SUOPT 01.  http://suo.ieee.org/email/msg11635.html
Cf. SUOPT 02.  http://suo.ieee.org/email/msg11653.html

JA: SUOP Topic :> Definition Of Objective

MW: A state of affairs that is desired by the
    organisation/project stating the objective.

Remark 2

Cf. SUOPT :> Objective 01.  http://suo.ieee.org/email/msg11640.html

JA: What is an objective?  AKA:  aim, goal, purpose, etc.

MW: To be picky a purpose is not quite the same as an objective.
    A purpose is pretty much the same as a mission, which is
    your raison d'etre.  An objective is a desired state.
    Now your purpose may be to bring an objective about,
    but that is still different from the objective itself.

Without stopping to quibble -- for the time being! --
I'll go ahead and poly-hydrate a head for Purpose:

SUOPT :> Purpose 01.  http://suo.ieee.org/email/msg11677.html

JA: What is our objective?

MW: Here:  To produce a procedures document
    that has the commitment of the SUO Group.
