I agree completely. I resist very strongly any separation of foundation and community.
How about a different point of view? Separated in concept, but united in practice. I am aware it sounds very inclining to a certain cultural background, but still daresay this idea itself can be applied to many cases, specially we need to cooperate with each other.
Separation itself is nothing wrong. Separation without communication nor collaboration is bad, or useless at best, assuredly.
If there is no separation, we require never two words or concepts: in practice the community isn't involved into a certain matter which the foundation cares for, and vice versa, I assume. If that sounds too metaphisical or awkward, we might need another terminology, like distinction, instead of separation.
Thank you for that. This is exactly what I think we should tend towards.
