Re: [CODE4LIB] Fiscal Continuity IG report redux [silence has been deafening]

Point of order: *we do not have to incorporate, to have a fiscal sponsor*. That is a large part of the benefit of fiscal sponsorship. While we probably *should* have bylaws, none of the potential fiscal sponsors have called that out as a requirement. The requirements they've given us, that come

> The details depend on the fiscal sponsor. In all the cases we are considering, the fiscal sponsor is already incorporated as a legal entity and provides that legal entity status to hosted organizations as part of the hosting. Yes, this matches how it works with many non-library projects I've

Re: [CODE4LIB] Fiscal Continuity IG report redux [silence has been deafening]

Just a couple notes. A) To repeat my earlier assertion, we need to form some kind of organization to do anything. Galen knows what this involves in Georgia, so I suggest that we ask for the community’s approval to do organize as a GA association. We will need bylaws, but we can start with some

Re: [CODE4LIB] Fiscal Continuity IG report redux [silence has been deafening]

I agree with all of this, except for the idea of using ranked choice voting (aka "instant runoff voting" aka "IRV") option. For reasons that are mathematically interesting , ranked choice voting is not the best tool to help us determine the will

Tod is accurate in describing the minimal level of formalization that would be required to be hosted by a legally defined non-profit. Each of them would (should) require a charter that details the purpose and characteristics of the project / organization it is hosting and likely a review at some

I would also like to see a vote on this sooner rather than later. The committee has done a great job looking into the various possibilities, and I would hate to see momentum stall out on this again. It seems that it is not quite as simple as just saying "we want a sponsor" or "we would like to
