Although I am always fond of brevity, perhaps we should outright say 
"purpose for which the list was intended, the method the list uses to 
achieve the purpose, the integrity of those overseeing the method, and 
the stability of the technology used by those people to distribute the 
data."
I think at that point our intent is much more clear, and leaves very 
little room for mis-interpretation.
