Thank you Adele and Anasuya, for pointing out how problematic that sentence
is. I also find that it subverts the otherwise brilliant work of the

Dear Anasuya,
thank you. Even after reading your text, I still do not understand

Congratulations to all those who were elected.

It would make the UCoC easier to understand if there was a glossary on
the same page. A chosen definition of "race" or "ethnicity" being used
in the context of this policy document may not be the same as exists
in the reader's head, how they describe their own identity, or as
might be used on
