A new organisation would have the benefit of a new and clean constitution. It could also take the form of a more beneficial type of organisation if that were appropriate. If that's the path which seems most appropriate I think it would be worthwhile to first ask what it is that AFFS (or it's successor) should actually be and do. A "free software fan club" is clearly not needed. Is there a need for a campaigning organisation - if so what kind of campaigns and to what ends? Is there a particular charitable objective that AFFS might serve well - if not the idea of being a charity is not worth pursuing. Something else - if so what? All of concerns, including the money, are, I think, secondary to first answering this one - even if it turns out the answer is that there is no worthwhile purpose to try and achieve.
