1. It is good to see cultural heritage mentioned, but what about natural heritage? PEDRR http://pedrr.org/ has been working hard on this topic. Is culture beyond heritage considered https://www.routledge.com/Cultures-and-Disasters-Understanding-Cultural-Framings-in-Disaster-Risk/Kruger-Bankoff-Cannon-Orlowski-Schipper/p/book/9780415745604 ?

2. Regarding inclusivity, again there is solid progress here. Groups missing include homeless people for which you had a seminal paper http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S014362289700043X and non-heterosexuals and various genders, for whom JC Gaillard has been leading the world in this work, such as http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/disa.12209/abstract;jsessionid=BBD69B56954B9BEFBDA0759800FF8C06.f03t01 and http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/08039410.2014.952330 (in addition to his work with homeless people  http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0197397514000824). What about masculinities https://www.routledge.com/Men-Masculinities-and-Disaster/Enarson-Pease/p/book/9781138934177 ?

3. Corruption, lack of transparency, discrimination, and other such actively sought disaster risk creation endeavours http://currents.plos.org/disasters/article/the-good-the-bad-and-the-ugly-disaster-risk-reduction-drr-versus-disaster-risk-creation-drc/ I am looking to James Lewis and Terry Cannon for further comment.

4. The SDGs and climate change should be far better connected with the Sendai Framework and with DRR more widely than is indicated, e.g. https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11069-016-2294-0 and https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s13753-015-0038-5

5. Do we trust governments to report reliably, fairly, and accurately? How could we better support GNDR http://www.gndr.org/ and others in holding governments to account? How could we better engage electorates to think more deeply and broadly about the topics on which they vote? As you note, Ben, decentralising, offloading, and governments generally moving towards privatised, for-profit models are pervading in many (not all) locations at the moment. Does this approach serve DRR and how could we evaluate and critique it?

6. Springboarding off the previous point, what would be appropriate messaging to inspire action and DRR investment, such as how much money DRR action saves http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2212420914000661 in the short-term and long-term? Are money-related messages what we really wish to highlight?

7. The usual discussions on silent disasters, hidden disaster-affected people, and smaller scales, not just the people, issues, events, and processes which hit the headlines. How to better incorporate these vulnerabilities, resiliences, hazards, risks, disasters, and disastrous conditions into the SFDRR processes?

Shortly after SFDRR was signed, we produced an IJDRS issue http://www.ijdrs.com/EN/volumn/volumn_1155.shtml with preliminary analyses, especially aiming to push forward some of the topics missing--but ourselves still missing numerous, important discussions. Let's continue the work and ensure that SFDRR not only ticks its own boxes, but also inspires action for topics and people(s) which SFDRR does not address. Thank you for starting this discussion and looking forward to hearing from others,
