I'm a bit surprised this asks for my reasons for wanting such
an organisation, rather than asking *whether* I want such an
organisation. I think it sounds like needless bureaucracy and a
chance to waste money on accountants, solicitors and corporate
administration. What benefit would it offer over becoming a
project of a recognised host foundation such as Software in
the Public Interest (SPI)? http://www.spi-inc.org/

Intrigued,
