Um, probably http://foundation.gentoo.org and |
| 9 |
http://archives.gentoo.org/ml/gentoo-trustees/ would be the best |
| 10 |
sources of info. |

Here's some things that the new trustees are probably going to have to |
| 13 |
deal with: |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
* Taxes for the Foundation's first year |
| 16 |
* Other paperwork involving NM's corporation laws |
| 17 |
* Possibly relocating the Foundation if we cannot satisfy the NM |
| 18 |
residency requirement. |
| 19 |
* Deciding on whether we want a copyright transfer agreement for devs |
| 20 |
* After the copyright transfer, if it ever happens, enforcement of |
| 21 |
Gentoo IP violations. |
| 22 |
* Voting on and enacting bylaws |
| 23 |
* IRS filing |
| 24 |
* Finding a new bank that can handle an account with access by US and |
| 25 |
non-US citizens, while still being PayPal-friendly. |
| 26 |
* Other things that I'm missing. Other current trustees feel free to |
| 27 |
add items! |
