As I see it, it doesn't. The BPFK can just declare its independence
and establish its own charter. If the business organization in turn
wants to give its approval and recognize the BPFK as an independent
body, all the better of course, and it would also have to approve, for
example, any eventual financing by the LLG of a publication of BPFK
material.

But this is not a proposal addressed to the LLG membership. It is a
proposal addressed to the Lojban community, to create a language
regulator that will take care of regulating their language.

The people involved in LLG and BPFK are mostly the same people, so it
makes little difference in practice, but the idea as I understand it
is for the BPFK to become an independent body, only concerned with the
language, not a quasi-independent committee of a business
organization.
