Among the points which need more fixing is certainly a more appropriate
definition of "organisation". It is a recurring problem for the
constituency to draw the borderline between individual interests (which
may be commercial or non commercial) and organisation concerns. I stated
already several times that this borderline is neither explicit enough,
nor well understood.

Provided that the proposed representative of Potter Yachter does not
show possible conflict of interest. That was the case for Jefsey. No
concern about Songbird, for which there is no possible intersection with
the NCDNHC.
