Hi Sophie, others

Alright - this is the part I find difficult to reconcile "only official
representation". Naturally there are certain functions here, such as
translations where the language based association of individuals should
make a team and that team should have responsibility for that function.

However, once you step past translation work I do see the clear line
that says this group has official responsibilities with other functions
performed.

Could you expand on that for me, what you mean by 'only official
representation' - it would help me understand.

If I follow what you are saying - if you create a legal entity of some
kind, outside of TDF, and then want to work with us that is OK - that is
a fairly high bar to set, IMO.

Thanks
