I'd say that's the definition of a partner. I'd prefer to see "Registration Prohibits ..." phrased that way: all partnerships must reveal their set of partners. It should be revealed upon first registration, as well as whenever there's a change (if we end up allowing changes to not affect identity). Unlike Goethe, I think this issue should be resolved by legislation. But it doesn't take very much legislation. A single paragraph such as you have proposed is sufficient. We don't need a new officer, and we don't need governing agreements to be public. (There are other reasons to want governing agreements to be public, but nothing I find decisive.) -zefram
