From Dirk:

I would love to see something at the beginning that articulates ‘who is this for?’ - is it folks working on software projects? People running organisations? Or is it anyone who is interested in being a better leader? - and in that a much clearer value statement for the individual - what will they get as a result of being an ‘open leader’ - how will they personally improve?

Added a section called "Who and what is this white paper for?"

This white paper is for anyone who shares our passion for openness, working open, and open leadership. It is meant for readers from both technical and non-technical backgrounds who want to use open leadership as a means to improve their work, help their communities, and further their personal and professional growth.

We're asking readers who share our interest in open leadership to help us create a framework of open leadership principles, practices, and skills that describe how and why to apply them for the benefit of communities, contributors, and projects.

This white paper represents our best effors to develop a framework for open leadership that we will use later to

  • Develop an Open Leadership Map. This will be some kind of illustrated tool people can use to explore the principles, practices, and skills defined below and to find curriculum and programming connected to each of those.
  • Develop an open leadership curriculum aligned with map.
  • Develop programming and events aligned with the map.

The white paper is meant to be a framework and foundation for later work, and, as such, it is not meant to be a practical guide or curriculum just yet.
