World Health Organization Rehabilitation Competency Framework review

I have been an invited by the World Health Organization to be a reviewer in a Delphi study regarding their Rehabilitation Competency Framework. It has been an honour - and fascinating process.
"The Rehabilitation Competency Framework (RCF) encompasses the competencies and activities, as well as underlying knowledge and skills required to deliver and support rehabilitation." 
"What is rehabilitation? WHO defines rehabilitation as a set of interventions designed to optimize functioning in individuals with health conditions, in interaction with their environment. A health condition may include disease, disorder, injury or trauma, as well as other circumstances such as pregnancy, ageing, stress, congenital anomaly, or genetic predisposition. Rehabilitation aims to maximizes people’s ability to live, work and learn."
