[Wikinews-l] Proposal for the creation of a Wikinews foundation

[Chris Luth]

NEWBIE QUESTION: Sorry for coming into the discussion a bit late, but  
I've been following this for the last couple of days and must have  
missed and am still failing to understand the legalities/conflicts of  
interest that would prevent WMF from being the issuer of press  
passes. What's up with that? Why the need for a separate organization?
