I agree: option 1 is the way to go, but with each of the track sections
understanding that they need to direct their material toward the strategy and
the overall goal of "making the case." Probably an Introduction that describes
the overall intent of Ontology Summit 2011 and general issues, with the
individual track section lead-in paragraphs emphasizing how they view "making
the case" in their section, describing their contribution, then summarizing.
Then the Strategy section could pull these together, and in effect act as
summary about how to make the case. (01)
The more concrete, the better. (02)

I believe there is much consensus that it is hard to make the case for
ontology in the abstract, in particular since the presentation needs to
vary depending on the audience. Thus, I would suggest to follow option
1. The resulting document maybe not more than "solid background material
for writing a document focused on making the case", but in my opinion
that would be a valuable resource to have.
