Cool, I like the advice you put in on how to look and evaluate the folks. I think that makes it feel more helpful and less demanding (which I was worried about but couldn't quite figure out how to fix).

We should ask Vectors to comment to ensure it isn't in "Developer English" and I would notify SFC about it but not block on them. I think we've avoided the big mistakes, so I'm not too worried we'd risk their tax status or anything.

We'll probably also eventually need a policy on the ordering of the list of people. Don't have strong feelings on what it should be (is it easy to rotate regularly?) but I imagine as we grow it will become an issue. I don't want people to feel we're favoring the board/friends/enemies/The British/etc.

Round 2,

Thanks Ted,

All your changes are in. I've emboldened the section about "It is your
responsibility..." I think your changes make this feel better to me.
More straightforward.

Best Regards, Martin Owens
