one may translate it to: being responsible of/taking care for the wealth and integrity of foundation based upon the principles and bylaws. >It may be a language barrier or simply a misunderstanding, but can we >clarify what is meant by using this kind of verbiage, and consider a >re-wording? I tend to keep it as it is. rewording would mean involving the charter members as this related to them.
