<br><font size=2><tt>OK - one major expense for small businesses in this
space is public<br>
liability insurance. Do you want OsGeo as an organisation able to<br>
take on grants, participate in OGC testbeds etc, or even provide<br>
support for FOSS4G community members to engage in funded activities<br>
outside corporate investment (and its not a trivial investment) in<br>
skills.<br>
<br>
This is going to be a challenge for the corporate good guys to make<br>
the case one way or the other, but I think we should be quite clear<br>
about what the intention is, so that the structure actually reflects<br>
and enables the outcome desired.<br>
