All,

My vote would be for setting up the Squeak Foundation as a Not for Profit
United States Non-Stock Corporation, but I’m not on the board.  I assume
that one of the first things that the board will discuss is the form the
foundation will take.  I’m not sure why it needs to take a considerable
amount of time.  If the board wants options they can ask for them, we can
all make suggestions and discuss the pros and cons of each form until a set
time.  At that time all the options should be collected up and considered by
the board.  They would then vote to select the form and then we move ahead
to implementation.  All done.
