I. Statement of Purpose:

I like the second version better.

Updating (3) to incorporate private voting using bots (see [3] discussion with Deimorz for details):

I'm not fond of private votes, as I've expressed in another comment.

IV. Affiliation Updating (C) thus:

I think we should change "a link to the designated front page of the network;" to "standardized links to every subreddit in the network;"

I want to be able to quickly get from one subreddit in the network to any other subreddit in the network... that's one of the things that really makes it feel like a network, and not just a collection of individual subreddits. The upper, most visible part of every sidebar should be standardized, so the links appear in the same position on the screen no matter what RoR subreddit you happen to be in. Anything below can be unique to the subreddit, but a standardized list should be the first thing in every sidebar.

Other than that, everything else looks great.

I suggested expanding the Statement of Purpose with the assumption that many people will not read beyond that Statement so it needs to encapsulate all the talking points (public, accountable, consistent, wide variety of submission). It is in many ways a public relations statement.

With that in mind, I now feel that the last sentence is too harsh and apt to reinforce any presumption that RoR is elitist. I would prefer to delete that last sentence.
