While maintaining a list, and passing it on to the next office
holder or even posting it in a public place is darned good practice
for a DPL, I am unsure if the constitution should write it in
stone. Can we assume we can pick leaders who an adequately perform
their office? If not, someone shall have to grep through the archives
and reconstruct a list after a negligent (and incompetent) DPL lost
it. (I would strongly recommend a web page that reflects currently
authorized organizations, and non-DPL's can maintain that, based on
public announcements).
