Right. And that would be a great avenue to build the capabilities to  
get the higher-level "protocols" right, such as the legal templates  
that we are already being asked to provide -- a request that will  
become more important in the future, and that the OIDF is currently  
ill-equipped to even completely understand, never mind meet.

Would love to work with you and others in this direction. After all,  
that's more the proper role of a board than, say, micromanaging or  
attempting to do all the work itself ;-)

Cheers,



Johannes.
