'Organisational conveniences' include cost and timescale and sometimes there may be a conflict in meeting the different needs of all users, especially where a site is designed to deliver a specialist service or to serve a specialist user group. But maybe that's just an argument for customising constitutions to the project.

Kudos for the brevity and the common sense approach. I wish that this had been around several years ago when I took on the “Monster”!
