This is a very accessible summary, and props to those who held the pen. I would only add that the summary does not illustrate *what *the sole designator actually is. For those who may not have closely tailed CCWG discussions, we should add a couple of lines to suggest what a designator is, where we drew this idea from (in the legal sense), and then proceed on to describe powers (which have been done articulately).

Jordan,
I think for the Fundamental Bylaws modification, the Board (or the community) proposes the modification In case the community proposes the modification It should go through the escalation process we described for the other powers to trigger the modification process, consult about its pertinence, formulate the proposal and then decide to submit the proposal, but perhaps with other thresholds then, and if the board accepts the proposal, it will put it to public comment In case the Board is the trigger of the modification, the community should go through the escalation process to approve or reject the proposal.
In both cases, I do think the discussion in the community forum would be important for the following reasons: The community proposal would be well discussed so that the consensus to submit the modification would be easier to reach The community position on a board proposal to modify the fundamental bylaws would be better taken and the rationals better developed after a deep discussion in the community forum. Also, an alternative proposal could be discussed there. In both cases, I don’t see why we should skip the community forum.
