Swedish translation:fokuspunkter, fokalpunkter
Explanation:
Fokuspunkter begagnas även på svenska.
Fokalpunkter ses också, fast nog mest i översättningar.
Annars är det väl inte så dumt med brännpunkter när det rör sig om global värmning ;-)

Explanation:
Kanske kan fungera i detta bildliga sammanhang..?

"Plattformar" och 'samlingspunkter' var andra ord som dök upp i mitt huvud.

agree  asptech: Det är säkert just det som avses, men hur får man folk att låta bli att använda sånt här "pseudospråk"? Lika lite som med bofinkar kan man ju få "fokusera" (= ställa in avståndet på en kamera) att betyda precis vad som helst.

Explanation:
Det finns egentligen inte någon kristallklar översättning av detta ord, men i detta sammanhang skulle nätverk eller möjligen kontaktpunkter fungera.
