And that is why you need the collective intelligence of the community.
Do we have an accountant on the list?
How about other levels/types of expertise?

Here's the format all laid out.
That's if that's the direction the community decide to go in.

ster+and+License+a+Non-Profit+Organization

It's a matter of filling out a few forms.
The costs, from what i recall of the Australian equivalent, are negligibl=
e.
For incorporation, an election of officers is required - a minimum of
three and the President can't be the same person as the Treasurer.
There is also generally a committee requirement, but we could just throw
that open to the entire list, or create another list to conduct
investment or other discussion on.

For mine, an association is simpler and easier to incorporate.
Regards,

David.
