Interesting read!
PS; my (best)friend recently joined your clan, I think he's liking it

I agree with everything, except this:
Salcos said :
Having a clan that has multiple focus areas does better than both clans with narrow focus areas, and very broad focus areas.
I don't think this is true in reality. The fact is some of the strongest Clans are those with 1 focus, especially PVM Clans.
It totally depends on what he ment with "does better". Clans with a narrow focus will do better in their focus area, but have a much harder time when it comes to recruiting. Especially in the PvP scene, we don't see many new recruits. So when it comes to sheer numbers (like in the Jagex Cup), all-round clans and multi-focus clans would be able to do better than those who only focus on PvP.
Overall, the best clan is the clan that makes you happy. For me that's PvP clans, but for someone else it could be an all-round clan

I only agree with 3, 4, 6, 8-ish and 10.
The others are extremely generalised and are only ideal for clans of limited capacity or "ideals".
It is not necessary to have a centralised decision making strategy and despite having much faster responses, it has been seen many times that a matrix chain of command is much more effective for complicated changes in a clan. As such this will be variable depending on the matter.
Having an open-minded central command contradicts your first point of the leader making intuitive decisions faster so this doesn't make sense at all.
Constant recruitment is hardly necessary and in an "ideal" clan, members should come at some times due to existing clan activity without having to directly recruit members but still main consistency.
Progress has always been in many cases, limited by order and rules rather than supported. Its a different situation that you applied this but I do understand it as my clan does this too.
Regarding 8, with a clan that recruits and targets the right members with the right skills at the right time and place, this won't be necessary and a built in chain of command should allow there to be an adequate incentive for those that follow the values of the ideal clan.
If you require motivation in order to make clan members give back to the clan then such a relationship is not one that is sustainable for a long period of time. This would be similar to a relationship formed by lending money. Promote a community where the members will cherish it to be so because of what the clan is would probably be much more ideal.
Just my brief opinion on it
