I think your advice is a quite clear articulation of the strategy behind the CAIS statement. I think this is a great and difficult strategy to pursue. Indeed, I have been circulating https://superintelligence-statement.org/ for some time now (secretly), and I think this statement first ensured it would get some of the major signatories before even making its way to me.
I think the OP is both talking about object-level reasons people gave, and it also shows that there is another strategy one might pursue which is to go around and convince people to actually support an existing statement publicly once they support it privately.
