GivingMarket/PublicFoundation

The /MembersWebsite solution went as far as it could go without technical expertise and funding to support it. Even if it could be built, it would need to bring so many people together and there would be ownership questions, governance questions, assets to manage and allocate. So the /PublicFoundation question came more into view -- even more daunting than the tech questions, really.

JulieEvansCaldwell doing some work on /PublicNetworkCenters? and piloting/developing the principles and practices that might support the creation of 509 (US tax code section) organizations, public foundations that could be owned and operated by their members. The complexity of this question overwhelmed, chasing attention back to tech questions.

If there were no assets, or nearly none... there would be no need for governance and ownership structures. How would this be if the whole tech part was so dirt simple that there was almost nothing to own, to fund or to pay people to develop? It might look like the /WeblogDirectory solution.
