| We understand that "right" is more important than "right now", and that future generations are more important than the needs of today. | ||

| Given the decision between profit and sustainability, we unequivocally chose sustainability. |

We need to have some phrasing around "We understand the difference between not making a profit right now and actively running at a deficit." Basically I want to have something that prompts active thought that "not at a profit" doesn't immediately watersled into "hemorrhaging money".

i think this is part of the definition of sustainability but it would be good to call that out.

We should devote equal amounts of verbiage to race / ethnicity as we do to "The Alphabet" or we should be more succinct about The Alphabet, e.g. "We agree that all queer people should be protected by ...".
I lean more toward being verbose with race / ethnicity, for the same reason we have about 13 rules beyond "Don't Be A Dick" to address common "whataboutisms".
My opinion is that we should include the common terminology that is understood in the DEI space around race, e.g.: "We agree that all races, ethnicities, national origin", "including but not limited to those who are Black, Indigenous, Hispanic, ..." and just be specific. In both cases acknowledge that the list is not exhaustive.

Similar to the above, we have 4 items of specificity for The Alphabet but only one specific to racism. I think we should call out examples of racism, just like we call out anti-trans practices separately from anti-lgbtq+ organizations, even though the former would fall under the latter.

|
||
| We agree that sustainability is our critical priority, and is necessary for the longevity of future generations of stewards and technologists. |

can we define sustainability or is the determination of the project's adherence to this something for a Tech Advisory Group to determine?

|
||
| We understand that private ownership is a great responsibility that requires special attention to detail in order to operate sustainably. We have considered releasing our work to the public domain and have determined that private ownership is a more appropriate ownership model for our work. | ||
|
|
||
| If we chose to instill a concept of ownership for the project, we agree to share the ownership equally amongst those that maintain and contribute to the project. |

can we require a "notice-type license" compatible with Apache 2.0?

|
||
| As an alternative to private ownership, we have considered releasing our work to the public domain. | ||
|
|
||
| We understand that the public domain is a dedicated space, where there is no concept of private ownership. In the event we release our project to the public domain, we agree to serve needs of the general public and act as responsible software stewards. We understand that we have an obligation to the public conservation of our work. As a steward we understand we are in position of burden; and not that of authority. |

can we require a "public domain" license like CC0 or similar? something well-recognised.
