we need to vote to give the Community Council power to appropriate donations and to perform server renting, site administration, etc, on behalf of the community.
Anyone can form a NFP (if they're willing to do the work), and if it's clear thats what they plan to do (and they propose some *actual* concrete plan for how it would work, and what it would bring) when they're standing, why do we need a referendum at all?
It's not like the NFP (let's call it NewOrg) will be empowered to go to all registered maemo.org users and demand dues for the next 12 months (let's say $100 per year per account).

Don't read so much into that. I made it a sticky because it was such a hot topic and I wanted to give it the proper attention. But as many have said, there is no real rush to act. We are just sharing thoughts.

thanks for the clarification.
so how about Canonical then? seems like they've been able to make money without totally depending on selling apps and hardware so maybe they'll consider adopting us.

So, lets stick mentally to this date, and prepare everything before. After that, we may not need to utilize Nokia money. There are no free dinners - using Nokia fund bound us a little. If we can prepare ourself, we can become legal entity with raised funds before financial-plug event.
And, it can be done without antagonizing us with Nokia. I think they also would be much happy, to not be "cutting" part - bot PR and economical side, it's better for both us and them, to "maturate" our legal entity and separate gracefully from our side.
