Well said. :)

I guess there are a few different ways that the payments could be
structured, that will have different effects on how much red tape and
administration is required. It is intended that non-US citizens will
be able to participate. Part of the experimental nature of this
project may well be finding the best way to manage the payments. The
topic of tax didn't come up in my discussions, but that's not
surprising. WMF has accountants and lawyers and other consultants...
the specifics are not all worked out down to the last detail, but
naturally they will be considered.

cheers,
Brianna
