I'm curious, and maybe this is the wrong thread,
but can someone explain to
me the difficulty in setting up a US organization that is essentially a
Wikimedia membership chapter? I get the issues with trademark ownership
(although it seems you could solve that with a license of some sort) and the
issue of diverting donations, but what are the other impediments if any? I
set up a non-profit corporation in high school, it didn't strike me as that
difficult at the time.
If this has been discussed at length, as I'm sure it has, on meta - could I
get the link as well?
Two links which filled me in on a lot of the background for this thread are:
