Thanks Bonnie. It is still not clear to me that we have to wait for a new constitution to address some of the website implementation compromises. I don't see things as black and white. The OGB may be able make interpretations that help your team make advances prior to a new constitution being approved. I already see some opportunities. I welcome learning more about the specific constitutional areas impacting your team, when you have time.

Hi, Auth will deploy on Aug 3 because we must move off the current portal application. After deployment we will track usage and any issues as is standard practice when releasing software. Changes can always be considered based on new data, and we've said we can support updates next year when and if there is a new constitution. In fact, we've already made updates recently because the proposed new constitution was not ratified, so we don't expect major issues with updates. In the past, people have been frustrated by the differences between the existing constitution and the current website, so we need to resolve the conflicts to arrive at one reality. We are not there yet because the new constitution didn't pass and we don't have one specification from which to work, but the goal has always been to build a website that expresses community structures as specified in the constitution. There are a small number of ways to architect a solution, and we chose one that enables us to solve the immediate problems while also giving us the flexibility to grow. No solution is perfect and not everyone will agree with all aspects of any implementation, but we can evolve in the future.
