> Lou PilderMr. Hsiung,
In regards to my concerns as to what you are wanting to identify here as a {responsibility}, a generally accepted mesaning of {responsibility} is something that one is to be responsible for.
Then to be {responsible}, a generally accepted meaning is that the one responsible has an obligation or duty to perform or answer to or something that the conscience would bind someone to perform or restrict. It could be a service assigned.
In any reply to me here could you include if the functions of the administration here are {responsibilities} or not under my understanding of what the generally accepted meaning of the word purports? If you could , then I could have the opportunity to respond accordingly.
