Spanish term or phrase: Me atrevo a

The end of an abstract.

"Al final, me atrevo a formular algunas conclusiones, subrayar avances y problemas, señalar desafíos futuros, sin olvidar que las políticas públicas de aseguramiento y de mejoramiento de la calidad de la educación superior constituyen un tema muy complejo y que no hay ningún modelo perfecto de acreditación listo para ser usado."

Unfortunately I've not got my main billingual dictionary with me right now, and the online ones only give things with "dare", which is clearly not appropriate here. I know it's quite an easy question, but I've got a mind block and I just can't think of a good translation right now.

I take the liberty of....

Explanation:
however, I would probably leave it out since in English (at least in the U.S. Northeast) we tend to be more direct and just say... "I draw/offer some conclusions"

8 mins confidence:

I [will/would] venture

Explanation:
If this part is in reference to the introduction, and the writer is giving an overview of the paper, something like "In the last section, I will venture some conclusions..."

If this is already in reference to the last section, and the writer is in the process of venturing the conclusions, "I now venture some conclusions..."

Since this is the abstract, maybe either of these ideas will need adaptation.

If you like the concept but you'd prefer a different word, check http://thesaurus.reference.com/search?q=venture (second entry) for other options.

Sorry. Dare is not appropriate here, as I said in my notes.
