From the Paper:

"Stakeholders include government officials, educators, investors, potential students, community leaders, and so on. The primary tension will emerge from religious leaders from both the Sunni and the Shi'ite communities. Neither can be ignored but the two sides are currently unlikely to work together to the degree necessary. A primary focus has to be on getting a consensus from these two sides in particular while taking care to stave off extremists who want only failure for their own ends. Assessment in this case focuses on whether the program advances at all at this stage and on the students taught and the various technologies covered in the future."
