Incoroporate as a nonprofit organization #12
Comments
Thank you, @rubinovitz, for pinging me about this. This seems like a good idea. Should a legal venture be set up, I would be willing to sign to the fact I have resigned from active admin actions and will only act to re-add admins on the board should something happen and they be removed. |
I've supported the idea of having a legal framework behind the administration of the group, and it'd be nifty for resolving #7 since it'd most likely require a board of directors to vote on CoC changes, and allow Dave to stay on as an officer with no actual admin power. So yeah, +1 |

There was a lot of talk about this in #4, but this seems like a better place to discuss it. Some have suggested that HH ought to form a legal entity to protect things like ie domain names. This isn't actually a terribly difficult process but it will take time and some money and is something that should be done extremely carefully (#fuckitshipit is terrible legal advice.)
What are our thoughts on this?
(Also, to be clear, I mean a nonprofit corporation, not a 501(c)3 specifically. That can be discussed in another issue, but I don't think it's necessary to go that far given our expected capital flows which are presumably less than what it would take to get the proper paperwork together to become a 501(c)3 -- essentially, 501(c)3 status is something that the IRS assigns to an already existing organization.)
