[bestbits] [governance] From Confusion to Clarification

[Carlos Afonso]

The only concern I have on yet another good proposal from Wolf is that a 
book is static while the IG processes are in a complex, difficult 
dynamic. I wonder if the book could be a "photograph" of something which 
would be more or less regularly updated in a corresponding collaborative 
portal?

fraternal regards
