As @CaitlinWaddick writes here: loomio.com/d/16wSnmrt/fwg-orga

We in the 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 media

And this doesn't fall under the banner of any existing working group.

LoomioFWG <-> Organizing Circle The Finance Working Group is in relationship with the Organizing Circle.

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

Can you help? Maybe start by organizing an initial meeting?

Thank you!

I'll be happy to help, but i am currently undergoing chemotherapy, so while i can contribute, i won't be at my best for the next few years.

Please let me know when the initial meetings are taking place. :D

@BillySmith Damn! Chemo is so grindingly awful. My love and sympathy to you. May you be well again and never have to endure this any more.

That i'm receiving chemo is an example of good luck in the postcode lottery for treatment. :|

That my condition's are responding well to the chemo is more good luck. :D

The fact that i need the chemo is a different kind of luck... 🤣
