Malcolm,

The Corporation has several bylaws, reflecting changes in its composition, e.g., the dissolution of the Protocol Supporting Organization (PSO) and the substitution of Technical Liaisons as non-voting members, and reflecting changes in its process as it carries out its business as a nonprofit public benefit corporation. I would be benefited by a more specific statement, one that mentions some phrase in the current bylaws and posits some example conduct that is difficult to reconcile with the phrase in question.

Similarly, the Corporation's mandate is a broad field, and the intent of the incorporators, the initial Board of Directors and each succeeding Board of Directors reflect a dynamic interpretation of the Corporation's statement of purpose and external circumstances. Again, I would be benefited by a more specific statement, one that mentions some phrase in the statement of purpose (see also the discussion of what constitutes the public interest in the main list) and posits some example conduct that is difficult to reconcile with the phrase in question.
