          above) and then try to "unpack" that phrase into sentences. 
          Thrusting this phrase in the middle of the sentence was

          "may," the mid-sentence insertion of the phrase obscured the
          connection between the final words ("by carrying out the

          Corporation shall ... pursue the charitable and public

          makes the primary narrative thrust of the sentence clear: "<b>the

                                  style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">If

                                  -- which further proves that changing

                                  style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">SECOND,
                                  I also disagree with the third point
                                  raised. "Organized" is commonly used
                                  in Articles of Incorporation (indeed,
                                  in some states, such as Massachusetts,
                                  a non-profit corporation files
                                  Articles of Organization rather than
                                  Articles of Incorporation).  As our
                                  counsel pointed out on the last call,
                                  the California official form for
                                  Articles of Incorporation uses the
                                  term "organized." (See attached)  It
                                  is a best practice to stick closely to
                                  the official language provided by the
                                  jurisdiction -- here it is
                                  "organized."  This is demonstrated in
                                  model California Articles of
                                  Incorporation prepared by Public
                                  Counsel, a pro bono law firm, and
                                  available online (see attached or
                                  <a moz-do-not-send="true"
                                    href="http://www.publiccounsel.org/publications?id=0059"
                                    target="_blank">http://www.publiccounsel.org/publications?id=0059</a>). 
                                  It would be far preferable if we were
                                  to accept the clarification that
                                  "organized" is what's used in this
                                  circumstance, rather than to recommend
                                  a change that is at best meaningless
                                  and at worst creates the potential for
                                  confusion (since one always looks for
                                  meaning in any change, and confusion
                                  could fill the void created by the
                                  meaninglessness of this change).  To
                                  paraphrase Shakespeare, I don't think
                                  the confusion is in the document, it
                                  is in ourselves (or at least in some
                                  of us) -- and it would be better for
                                  us to adjust our understanding of the
                                  document, rather than to adjust the
                                  document to suit our misunderstanding.</div>
