Hello Paul - this is an excellent example. So its not only about the
community having organisational control but it could also be
commercial entity that "solely" depends on the community for
sustainability and hence has commercial accountability. Excellent one.

> will fail (with complete certainty) if the served community stops using it,
> so it has total commercial accountability to the community.
