<p>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. <br>
