I think what I would like to see is a pledge from PTFS that whatever method of organization the community chooses will be the organization that PTFS assigns the assets to. Certainly, I welcome the option of having a PTFS Koha Software Foundation option as one of my choices in helping to decide the future of the Koha community, and I look forward to having open discussion of the matter.

I think that an IRC chat should be scheduled as soon as possible to begin discussions for establishing a Koha foundation.

In this regards, LibLime will help organize and fund the creation of a Koha Software Foundation as a 501(c)3 non-profit corporation.
There has been much discussion in the community about what kind of organization to form, and all of this discussion has been out in the open. No decision has been made, but you are welcome to join in and express your opinion.
LibLime officially requests that interested parties contact us who are interested in helping to create and manage this foundation.
This mailing list, the Koha wiki, and the Koha IRC channel are all great places to have this dicussion. I don't think direct emails with PTFS are the way to do it.
I'm assuming PTFS would like to specify conditions under which its assets would be transferred to an official Koha organization? Perhaps you could explain those to us?
