I have been out of town, but I will get the final survey up early next week and we will see where the community stands and make a final decision and move forward with the plan to have a foundation behind Koha. That said - I am with the others here who have said we should go with HLT because they are the most obvious in my eyes, have a vested interest in Koha, are library-related, and will cause no trouble when we (the community) are ready to go out and found on our own.

I think it's the only real solution to our problems. A transition like this won't be fun, but will be a huge benefit to everyone involved.

Kia ora, I have to say that I support Thomas's points here. The community appears to have lost control of the trademark, the domain and website. The only thing that it retains some control over is the software. In order to regroup and map out a path from here, I think the establishment of some kind of entity is paramount. If this is going to take some time (which is likely), I too suggest we consider using the HLT in the interim. The fork has occurred, and LL has the trademark and the domain. One unpleasant possibility is a rebirth for Koha. If LL owns the domain, they effectively own the trademark. One way around this could be a new foundation, new name and website. Thoughts?
