Hello all,<br>
<br>
Indeed using "oversees" this could imply a matter of top down
authority towards the community, which it does not have.<br>
In using "represents the interests", it goes further than "acts in
the best interests", but it also opens the door to criticism that
there are no procedures in place to ask every Internet user what
they think, so it further exacerbates the issue of legitimacy. Thus
I would support "acts in the best interests"<br>
Kindest regards,<br>
<br>
Olivier<br>
