How about a payment plan into a Paypal account ? From someone we all trust.  Which is most Amiga.org of course.(o:.  Maybe Wayne can assist as a last loving gesture.
That way we can make smaller affordable payments over a longer period.  
That's a way I can deliver more than my $100 pledge here, and keep my Financial controller happy.

Cheers

Time to use the voting system for something serious.!!!!
A future model for AOs existence.
We could go an anarco-sydicalist commune, a nominated autocracy, a fascist dictatorship, a democracy(god forbid), a corporate structure, a council/club structure.
President, Secretary, Technical Officer, Stakeholder Board, Trust Account (Kitty), Financial membership, Generic membership. So many considerations.
At the moment it is clear there needs to be a nominated initial leadership to work with Wayne in the transition planning.  Who?

He/She with the highest posts ?
He/She with the biggest bid?
Existing Moderators?

Frodo?
(though he does not know the way..)

The site has no serious commercial value to me, but I will offer £2,500 for ownership. As this is short of Wayne's target, I would be prepared to share ownership with up to 3 more people. But that's it. Co-ordinating 100+ shareholders across many countries, would be like controlling a wheelbarrow full of frogs.

That's my offer, a little higher than I would have liked but I can see why Wayne is asking so much.


I tend to agree with this view. As we say in Aus money talks and BS walks, or is that Lesbos?
I think 3 key contributors or nominees (Executives) is the way to go. Pseudo CFO, CEO and CIO. 2 thirds majority works then.
Other donations as Life Member >$500, Full Member >$200 or just Member >$50. Or ranges to be determined by the CFO.  But setting up 3 Amigos as heads, and with Wayne's assistance (fair dob) starts the ball rolling.... just my view.

BTW: Cling wrap...
Cling wrap is a way to control a wheelbarrow full of frogs. not that i've tried it. But I think it would work.

Gertsy,
