Indeed. But I did think there was a risk that wording could be
(mis)interpreted to suggest that we are - and then used to that effect
when discussing what that future Directory Service might look like.

I think that would help.

The only point that I'm making is that we aren't trying to pre-empt that
process or use this insertion into the Bylaws to direct certain outcomes
from it. On that, I think we're all agreed; it's just a matter of being
clear in the language we choose.
