I also had difficulties interpreting the material and thats why I shared the link. I would also request any wikimedian who understands this jargon to explain simply the four questions by Oliver.

Thanks, Steve, for a very informative overview webpage.
However, who’s going to understand all the legalese and be able to make an informed decision based on the content of that overview? Certainly not me! J
Can someone with more legal competency / knowledge summarise the issues in everyday language and let us know what our options are, and for each options answer the following issues:
- what’s the liability for the members?
- what are the requirements with regard to tax and report filing?
- are there any restrictions on membership?
- what’s the status with regard to for profit vs non-profit?
Thanks,
Oliver (aka BT)
