I agree we currently don't need a bank account. On the other hand, I added: [1] https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Grants%3AProject%2FRapid%2FWikiJournal_2018&type=revision&diff=17393032&oldid=17391138
*$400*: Registering *WikiJournal* as a *trademark https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trademark* in the United States (regular price https://www.uspto.gov/trademarks-application-process/filing-online/reduced-fees-teas-application-filing-options), in order to legally protect the *WikiJournal* name. Once registered, it only needs renewal once every 10 years. [2] https://www.legalzoom.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-to-trademark-a-business-name
They did have reduced price too, but which would cost at least $400 anyway if it needs correction or supplemental information, which I think will most likely happen.
I think we may submit the application by the weekend. If we conceive additional ideas afterwards, it's always possible to make another application for those.
Best regards,
Mikael

Hi all WikiJournal participants,
The year 2018 is no longer that far away and it's time to think about next year's funding. I've now started a draft of a rapid grant to fund us through next year: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wik i/Grants:Project/Rapid/WikiJournal_2018
Now that WikiJournal as a whole is a non-profit organization we could add funding for creating a bank account for the project for about $120, but as the expenses are still relatively overseeable I can act as treasurer with my private account, and keep the receipts until it's time to report.
Please add your ideas, other comments and/or simply support for the application.
Best regards,
Mikael
