The list is short enough to permit a rapid overview of the whole, yet it is fairly comprehensive.

	Were the "21 actionable themes" decided only with the Nairobi WSF 2007 in view? Were they meant to last until the next WSF (2009)? Or perhaps even longer? Can the social forum's process have a continuity without ''lasting'' "actionable themes" , and without a real effort to follow-up those lasting themes?		Were the "21 actionable themes" decided only with the Nairobi WSF 2007 in view? Were they meant to last until the next WSF (2009)? Or perhaps even longer? Can the social forum's process have a continuity without ''lasting'' "actionable themes" , and without a real effort to follow-up those lasting themes?

-	The 21 actionable themes are not a classification of knowledge. Rather, they are the taxonomy of things that a contemporary government should be concerned with. (The list shows a rough resemblance with the list of ministries of a modern state.) No government can be perfect. Neither can this classification be perfect.	+	The 21 actionable themes are not a classification of knowledge.
