Sorry, I can't give anymore of the text, but it goes on to describe a faoundation, and the names of the people who spearheaded it. I can't think of a good English expression for this term right now. Several heads are better than one! I appreciate any assistance I get!

: i think 'highlight' corresponds to the appropriate register. i haven't come up with anything more poetic! I'm still trying to think of something more poetic, but this is definitely serviceable...
