You've only given a list of pros, so it's hard to disagree :p In general it sounds like a good idea. Some questions and potential concerns below: What's the benefit of having our own entity as opposed to proxying behind the general "OpenStreetMap world" entity ? What exactly is required to get the legal organisation going ? A treasurer and a president ? A bank account ? Recurring paperwork ? A postal address ? Do we want to set up board elections ? Membership fees ? I have a fair idea of what is needed for such an association in France, but I don't know about Ireland. _______________________________________________ Talk-ie mailing list Talk-ie@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ie
