<p class="MsoNormal">I guess that depends on what is meant by
“promote knowledge” and how you accomplish it. But I’ve never
really understood the promotion of knowledge to automatically
mean self-promotion, as in the sense of self-aggrandizement. <o:p></o:p></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">But I’d give you they might be more
specific about the knowledge about the organization they are
talking about, so someone doesn’t use the language to play
fast and loose.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">It’s probably not bad that somewhere a
long the line people might become knowledgeable about
ICANN’s role, for example.<o:p></o:p></p>
