These official positions are intended for assisting external collaboration, and for honour and recognition, is that correct? Rather than authority and leadership? Also, people will be allowed to deal with external organisations without an official title, on the same terms that they do now, won't they? That is to say, although certain official positions may carry the power to speak "on behalf of the foundation", that won't inhibit other people from doing various external activities in aid of the foundation, such as Thomas Koll's WikiReader publication, or Erik's collaboration with Kennisnet?
