I wish to know what has been done towards Gentoo achieving non-profit |
| 2 |
status. I think it is crucial for the gentoo system to become |
| 3 |
non-profit, considering the volunteer support it receives. This |
| 4 |
question is directed at Gentoo management. |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
Most non-profits start their work and declare themselves as non-profits |
| 7 |
before getting an IRS Employer Identification Number/Tax ID as a |
| 8 |
non-profit. Why hasn't Gentoo done the same? |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
My questions are what are Gentoo's self-imposed deadlines for non-profit |
| 11 |
status? |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
Who in the government on what date has been contacted so far, and what |
| 14 |
forms have been filed, could a copy be posted on the web? |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
Every non-profit has a mission. What is Gentoo's 501(c)3 mission? |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
Gentoo has a management structure. 501(c)3s have boards. Who is on the |
| 19 |
Gentoo Board? |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
Who is drafting the non-profit bylaws? |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
I will gladly undertake the administrative task (except for signing of |
| 24 |
course) for Gentoo management if they need some help with this stuff. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
As a frame of reference on the timelines, I have seen non-profit teen |
| 27 |
pregnancy centers with one half-time volunteer register themselves for |
| 28 |
non-profit status within about a month. |

Thanks for spending time responding to this. Thanks! |
