Keeping the audience in mind?

Not having had a chance to read the thing yet, one thing that strikes me about the ISG report is that the thing's actually pretty short. Don't get me wrong: brevity is the great undiscovered country of commission reports. They should all be short and sweet. But my recollection is that these sorts of reports often run hundreds of pages. The PDF I have runs 160 pages. And after about a hundred pages it's all maps and pictures and commissoner bios.

Late Update: MJ Rosenberg says three cheers for the report's section on Israel-Palestine.
