I would like to spend some time brainstorming different options here. I'm not a big fan of this one, although I agree that the earlier 'strategic vs tacitical' is not appropriate either.

For what it's worth I'm not attached to this language at all. Happy to use something else. The reason I moved away from the previous language was (so you know my rationale in case it's helpful for next iteration):
- it wasn't precise enough (and I don't want people to fill in too many missing gaps)
- All of our work needs to be strategic at the end of the day, and in our case getting our product work accomplished through open source development is definitely a strategic choice

100% i never liked the previous ones as well for both the reasons you listed, plus the military / violent feel of 'tactical' in my mouth

This adapts language that @yuvipanda originally wrote in order to describe our team thinking around making contributions to upstream communities. It describes two kinds of contributions:
It describes what each kind of contribution is and what it looks like, as well as how it relates to 2i2c.
It ends each section with a brief description of the team practices that we want to adopt towards each one. These should be high-level ideas that we can follow-up with more specific policy or system design.
