An umbrella would own and defend our trademarks, ensure book keeping is done, |
| 52 |
and have a liaison within the project to carry out certains tasks. |
| 53 |
|
| 54 |
If council "appointed" another project to carry out said tasks then they could |
| 55 |
easily go against the council's wishes with no implications. |
| 56 |
|
| 57 |
This is why, if dissolved in favor of the foundation that one of the council |
| 58 |
members would need to be appointed as the liaison. |
