At Luke Martin's suggestion, I am putting my have/want list here.

Want:

People to give feedback on the proposal for the self help corporation

http://www.omidyar.net/group/showcase/news/139/

No one has read it? No one understands it? Everyone thinks its garbage?

The next step in implementation is find a group of people who could benefit from the proposal, explain to them how it works and why it would benefit them to participate. There are organizations that already have a relationship with such groups of people. Can anyone provide me an introduction?

Have:

I am a lawyer by profession. I have experience in business and non-profit corporate formation and governance (in both business and homeowners associations). I am not looking for paying work (and legal advice is worth what you pay for it) but I would be happy to help out where ever I can.

Have you been these places?

I think you will find allies here.

Hmmmm. I will have to find your proposal again and reread it.

Thanks Debbie,

I have been aware of those groups but have not participated there. Too many possibilities I guess. I will try that next.

Yes, David. Sometimes I avoid groups not because I am disinterested but because there's just too much going on here and in real life.

I have to second Debbie's comment. The best feedback I can give at the moment is that I have read it a couple of times, I like the idea, and I have logged the idea in my mind but there is just too much going on for me to think of anything more helpful.

I hope you find a group who will benefit from the idea, that will be the best publicity.
