Lloyd, great edits: your paragraph three edits are dead-on and the rest are all points worth debating. . I think we could compromise on the strict Chicago focus if language were changed to make clear that Chicago was our main but not sole priority.  "In Chicago (and hopefully also throughout the world)" or something like that. . And I personally think at least some of paragraph two is worth keeping, although I'm not married to that:  Capitalism and coordinatorism aren't just "targets," they're what we'll most likely get mistaken for and part of stating our mission is distinguishing it from the mission of other groups where confusion is probable.  I'd keep all of it, but this paragraph is of course the easiest to cut. . Again, thanks. . In solidarity Sean Reynolds
