Why? The constitution should not decide on the medium the
companies that hold assets for Debian should be stored in; that
should be up to the DPL's and their deligates. There is no need to
build such micromanagement into the constitutions; so just saying
that the companies designated (as opposed to vetted) by the project
leader would be authorized to do so without specifying where the list
f current companies so authorized is kept is better.
