[governance] Going forward - Role of the governance caucus

[Veni Markovski]

Thank you, Jeanette! Quite a nice letter!

After reading it, I understood where my mistake in the proposal for 
have a non-profit was. Here's my idea, in a - hopefully - more 
user-friendly option:

Civil Society could create a spin-off, a non-profit, which will 
channel funding for the work of the CS caucus. The non-profit will 
not "replace" the CS Caucus; that's impossible, also due to the 
reasons stated by Jeanette. The need for such an organization is even 
only technical (although there are more): if someone wants to support 
the CS Caucus, they can't even wire money to it. The non-profit will 
be a tool for better work of the CS. Obviuosly there is going to be a 
lot of work in the next few years, and a lot of growing problems, and 
it's up to us to show that we're also growing - in the way we propose 
solutions.

best,
veni
