This is a proposal for Debian to create a guideline for our TOs when
they receive donations of non-fiat assets.
It is a result of the constructive debate we had on debian-private, and
hopefully it will not be too divisive :)

Donations to the Debian project of assets other than the TO's currency
of choice should be liquidated as soon as possible.

Pollo,
I trust your best intention but I hold that these decisions should be
worked out by the Project Leader and/or appointed delegates in
coordination with TOs and with help of qualified advisers. They might
decide to have a general rule but they could also weigh in on case by
case basis. We should not tie their hands by passing a GR.
We may face a monetary inflation in some of the TOs host countries which
could eat the hard currency up real quick. Thank you for bringing this
up to the wider audience as it is important to recognize that this
problem does exist.
