Re: [talk-ph] OSM Philippines legal entity (was OSM Philippines meet-up)
Hi, Just want to clarify the costs of setting up a nonProfit organization are not prohibitive, it is only the foundation type which requires a 1 million peso bank deposit, but a type of Misc. Activities club or business non profit org has no large fees or requirements. Paperwork is numerous but really just requires a printer and a lot of paper. :) Andre ___ talk-ph mailing list talk-ph@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ph

Certainly we as OSM Foundation will do our best to accommodate a structure that keeps your costs to a minimum or preferably zero. The only checkpoint that I can think of for us is that Etienne as Treasurer can see proper control if money is involved, for example local membership dues. To help, it is important to understand the need for a "legal personality" and then do what it takes . In the past, I've been a member of clubs around the world that had a written constitution and an Annual General Meeting but no official registration that I was aware of. Is it a strict legal necessity in the Philippines or something gives an air of formality when dealing with such people as local government? Can you open a club bank account without SEC registration? Do you actually need/want a bank account? For Etienne and Nick, in the Philippines it is common practice to register an organization/club with the Securities and Exchange Commission as a non-profit. If I am paraphrasing earlier list discussions correctly, this involves a lot of paperwork and has potentially prohibitive costs.

You don't need to combine all coastlines for large land masses especially Luzon or Asutralia. It's a pain to edit them.

There is a need to create a "legal personality" for OSM Philippines One other alternate approach we discussed was to use the main London OSM body as a representative. Its unclear exactly how this would work though. Time zones would undoubtedly be tricky but it might be good as a stopgap. The cost of funding a non-profit would seem to be around 1M pesos to be held in a bank account (did I remember that right?) which would seem to be a barrier to entry. The other main expense would be the yearly accounts, so perhaps there is an accountant in the group who could donate their time to that (hint -- the non-profit would have no cashflow, so probably quite easy to do accounts) As far as extending the coverage of OSM in the Philippines, we discussed a number of ideas. To me, (ok, this is my biased opinion) the most powerful way of expanding coverage would be to use Naga as an example and tout that around other municipalities. Here's the sales pitch as I conceived it: The data already exists, but is incomplete. By releasing it to OpenStreetmap they can get it incorporated into OSM at no cost to themselves (probably) and with no effort. Once its in there, the data will be fixed by the general public, and it can then be re-downloaded and used by the municipality. Its effectively a free way of cleaning up their data, and putting their city on the map. Hmm, something like that. It seemed clearer after a few beers! Someone else can choose the venue next time ...
