I'm not sure what are the missing points on the
TODO list for
"defining" the consortium. Daniel?
Lots more than you might think, Andrea. There are lots of legal issues involved. I
don't want to go into more details at the moment.
But a non-profit organisation consisting of natural members - members of a community is a
model that has been adopted in many oss communities.
See fsf, gnome, xiph, X.org.

"X.org no longer "the X consortium" -- is now a 501(c)(3) non-profit
organization."
