As an organization we need to define what we are going to be. We've come up with two main options:

  1. A Code for America brigade with a organizational structure similar to a 501c3
  2. A full fledge 501c3

We need to come up with a list of pros and cons for these two options and analyze how the CfA MOU (issue #12 ) could play into all of this.

We also need a clear understanding on the laws that govern a 501c3, particularly the laws around partisan politics, since this will help us avoid projects that we shouldn't touch.

Option 1. A Code for America brigade with a organizational structure similar to a 501c3

Pros Cons
We don't know when CfA needs to sign a legal document. For example an MOU with the PR Science Trust

Option 2. Become a full 501c3

Pros Cons
Being our own entity would help us avoid any doubt on who needs to signs MOUs

Por ahora vamos a quedarnos con Code for America. Tenemos tareas mas importantes como la creación de "bylaws".

Vamos a cerrar este issue. De ser necesario volveremos a tener esta conversacion en el futuro.
