Err, but we have to say who we have agreed is `the project'.  I mean,
what if GWB comes along tomorrow and says `I, being the chief of the
GNUstep project, appoint myself to be the new representative for
GNUstep' ?  Obviously that's daft, because Adam would have to do it,
but there's nothing besides my para 4 that would contradict it.

This para 4 is the `state the SPI Board's current understanding of who
is authorised to act for the project' of the Framework's para 6.

Oh, excellent, thank you.  I should have thought to look in the list
archives.

I'll get rid of the stuff about the minutes and the website and make a
direct reference to the Framework.  Para 4 has to stay though,
surely ?

Right.  It's been around for ages ...
