I'm in favour of not putting additional detailed mandates for what the 
council must or might do in the constitution.  I'm in favour of not 
imposing lots of limitations on what council can agree to do if it wants 
to.  The problem with the current wording is that it might be able to 
used to limit the ability of council to act in the interests of 
members.  Putting specific ways the council *can* act in the interest of 
members in the constitution seems unnecessary and might imply that they 
can't do other unspecified things.  The main reason people seem to want 
details of members is not for data analytics, but to communicate with 
them.  There *might* be some argument for explicitly saying something 
about making available some avenue to communicate indirectly with 
members in some limited way (preferably compatible with protecting 
privacy and agency of members) without going into detail about the form.
