<p class="MsoNormal">LibLime is very encouraged at the amount of positive discussion
that our post has generated and I will attempt to answer some of the questions
that have been raised. We agree that Kohacon could be a very appropriate and
productive forum to expand discussions on how to best set up a Koha Foundation.
I would request that preliminary discussions start prior to that if possible,
so that we would have a better sense of the agenda and the preparation required
for Kohacon. Would it be possible to hold a meeting of some kind in the
next few weeks?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I will continue to be involved in the Koha Foundation
process, but I have asked Amy DeGroff to be the LibLime spokesperson as the
discussions evolve through the IRC and the list to make sure we do not
miss any pertinent information/communications. Amy and Patrick Jones are
key members of our LibLime staff that will also be supporting this process.
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">LibLime has minimal preconceived mandates for the Koha Foundation
except that it be a new formal non-profit organization that is only involved
with Koha. We believe that US 501 (c)(3) laws are advantageous for
non-profit corporations and that this type of a corporation would be very
appropriate for the Koha Foundation. This fact was also referenced by
another individual on the list yesterday. We will want to see typical governance
documentation agreed upon and developed such as a Charter and Bylaws. LibLime,
as one of multiple asset donors, will want to participate as an active and voting
member of the Foundation. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Finally, per a recent post, LibLime will contact the attorney
of Metavore Inc., LibLime’s former corporate parent to see if the Koha 503C
corporation created in 2009 will be transferred as a part of the LibLime asset
purchase that PTFS made from Metivore Inc. in March of this year. This
was not covered during the transaction.</p>
