We must incorporate as a non-profit in the United States.

If I recall correctly, back when the SPF Council was initially being
formed, you also thought that the SPF Council should create a set of
bylaws and constitution and such. I'm not sure if you have changed
your mind on this, or if I'm miss-remembering, but in any case I think
the idea of forming a formal organization runs along the same lines.
I think that the informal organization we have right now has worked
reasonably well. It is certainly not flawless, but I think most of
the problems we have run into are not due to the lack of a more formal
foundation, but rather a lack of manpower to do stuff.
I think that creating bylaws and a formal non-profit organization
would be a very large amount of work. While I've never been directly
involved, I've seen others go through it and simply getting a rough
consensus on something like the bylaws will likely be as much work as
getting a rough consensus on the SPF I-D was. Heck, I'm not sure how
easily it will be to even decide which country the organization should
be formed in.
I am not opposed to having a more formal organization created, but I
think that it will take several people stepping forward and
volunteering to do the work.
For the record, I am not going to volunteer. If you, or others, are
interested, it would be best to step forward.
