I knew it was a famous speech, but not which one. "Public Benefit" is actually a fairly American phrase; we don't use it over here in the same way.

Probably I'll use that on the next batch. Jon G: yes, that's a nice phrase. I wonder if it works as well in other languages and cultures. I have a sense it is US-centric, but maybe I'm wrong. I'll ask mozilla contributors. Seth: i go back and forth on the “chairwoman.” Probably I’ll use that on the next batch.
