Simply, I think “commission” is actually a really lovely word, but in most countries, and certainly in this country, I think it implies that there has been an official commission given to a person or an entity. In this country, it leads people to assume that we are congressionally chartered and probably congressionally funded. We are neither, as I've made clear.
I don't think it has handicapped our work, thankfully, but it does create an initial misimpression with some people, because they assume that all that they see when a debate starts in fact has been funded by the federal government. It does not occur to them that we are a not-for-profit and we need to raise our own operating funds.
