 Good proposal Jack - I did not include explicitly at the start the step
of asking where we currently are, because I anticipated that anyone
offering a view of where SD should aim for in the future would start
from their own knowledge of where we already are, i.e. I anticipated
that those in K-12 / environmental issues / health policy / economics /
Uni-education / Govt policy / business would all have good knowledge of
how widely and deeply SD has already penetrated in their own particular
domains. They would therefore [I hoped] set out their ambitions in
relation to that start-point. 

As it turns out, either we do not know this present status, or those who
know have chosen not to contribute to the discussion. I am particularly
conscious of this in regard to business applications, but there may be
more areas for which we just don't know where we currently are. I have
directly asked some folk in that domain about where they think we should
aim to go, but as yet received no replies.

A key part of the parallel study I am doing for another professional
body involved surveying members' views on their field's priorities [12%
response rate within 5 days, and still rising!]. So it should be
possible to take your desire forward to add the kind of research to the
next phase.
