In the States we used to have these things called "collectives". I belonged to a few myself. They were democratic bodies where we agreed on where we wanted to go and goals to get there. Then each person chose their functionality and stated their commitment. Some were more committed than others and that was understood because of the agreed commonality of purpose.

I think this structure would work best and create freedom and growth. What do you think, Phares?

More of a Foundation... Can act as a trust... Actually one of the things to be done with said foundation is 'social' research projects. So it would fall right into what we aim to achieve...

Hey @Davis, brilliant idea.
 
Hey @Phares, not sure what is being setup....The Association or a fund ?  It'd be great if either are already in the process. 
Rgds. :-)

@ aki et al,

While at it, why not also think of a skunkworks revolving/endowment fund to help finance all those brilliant skunks or skunk ideas. That would really push the need of some association or formal Group.

Already in the process of being setup...
