Neutraility does not exist in humans. Instead, Skunkworks should have a constitution to keep it as open as possible to all kinds of views irrespective of who donates to it. That is what the Bill of Rights is all about. In fact the reason why Africans were colonized is because we just talked (had an oral culture) &amp; documented no principles &amp; procedures (= systems) to be productive.<br>
<br>Have been made to understand that Skunkworks once met with a CEO of a Multinational Telecom who asked about its purpose for existence. There was no good answer from what I heard. And like CEO, the Techie (Entreprenuer) who told me this concluded later this is list is not designed to achieve any goals. If Skunkworks is doing so well as it is now, why do we not have 300K in donations now? It just shows this list is not taken seriously as it is.<br>
<br>Who says Skunkworks cannot be run as a Virtual Org? Why are we afraid to learn to learn new concepts such as Team Building? Without its own funds, Skunkworks becomes even more dependent on external influences.<br><br>

A purely personal opinion, observing how Kenyan&#39;s organisations grow. At the moment, funding for Skunkworks is on a *needs* basis.... i.e. we need a server, money is raised for the server, server bought etc... No money actually goes through Skunkworks... The problem is, if we start receiving money, firstly, we would no longer be independent... secondly, Skunkworks would become political... If we have money, someone will have to be paid to administer it, etc etc. The motivation for running Skunkworks will easily change and become fiscal...
