The Appropedia Foundation is a California non-profit organization and has 501(c)(3) status under United States law. The Foundation's Federal EIN (Tax ID) is 20-8982657.
So what are the details of foundation membership / mission / contribution? What is it responsible for and what does it not involve itself in? How do people take part in foundation discussions, prioritization? Are there elections or appointment schedules? &c :-) Sj
Hi Sj,
It is great to have you here asking these important questions. Mission and Appropedia subcommittees might interest you and we are working on a set of google group listserves for other ways to engage. The questions you pose are important, your feelings expressed at User:Sj are probably ones that a lot of people feel, we hope you can help us become more transparent and engaging. I think Chriswaterguy will have various listserves done in the next few days. I look forward to seeing his response here as well.
