   What I wanted to say, but did not do very well, is that as the   
   proportion of Foundationees increases, they will become the   
   preponderance in the RSCB, and then what the RSCB will stand for,   
   promote and represent is not the technical world of the Full   
   licensee, but the CB-like operator-only world of the   
   Foundation Licence and the RSCB will really have become   
   the RSCB in truth and not just as a  cynical misnomer of RSGB.
