We in the #SocialCoop Finance Working Group feel strongly that it is time to build out a serious Legal Working Group. This has been an ongoing discussion, but we need support on:
- Incorporation
- International membership
- Liability protections
- Emerging regs on social mediaAnd this doesn't fall under the banner of any existing working group.

It would be ideal to have a working group composed of both professional lawyers and non-lawyers with an interest in relevant issues. We don't want an overly professionalized entity, but one that is above all accountable to our shared values.
Like the other WGs, stipends should be paid to participants.

Who might be open to taking the lead on forming a living Legal Working Group? The commitment might look like quarterly meetings plus being responsive to questions from other working groups.
People who have in the past expressed interest include: @beckett @mako @dazinism @sam @Matt_Noyes @Eliot_L @dmokreis @GiacomoSansoni
@coopartisans @FreeScholar @toddxy @JosephAndriano @BillySmithCan you help? Maybe start by organizing an initial meeting?
Thank you!

Being the lead would be difficult for me at this time. However, I am happy to be supportive of the effort and join it.
That said, if no one is willing to step up, I would be happy to facilitate the first meeting just so we can get the discussion going and discuss who will lead it.

Assuming no one else wants to facilitate the first meeting, to ensure this does not fall through the cracks, if you are interested in this endeavor please respond directly to me with your availability for a 1 hour meeting in September using the social.coop Matrix video chat. Thanks!

@JosephAndriano @ntnsndr @beckett @mako @dazinism @Matt_Noyes @Eliot_L @dmokreis @GiacomoSansoni @coopartisans @FreeScholar @toddxy @BillySmith please don't use Matrix for meetings; not everyone has an account on Matrix (and an account is required). We have a meet.coop account for these sorts of things and you can set it to not require login. Thanks!

I've never been able to get Matrix running properly on my current machine, and the only emails that their tech support team send me, do not contain any links where i can log in... ️
Meet.coop works well.
