People have been very selective in opposing 501c3's, some are worth collaborating with and others are deemed problematic.  Consistency in the attitudes around non-profits are not consistent, because many of those who object to non-profits are now working with other non-profits including 350.org, Common Cause, Lucy Parsons, NLG, IWW etc.  It is not a situation where you can make everyone happy, so I suggest we don't try to.

If we can schedule an in person meeting after Strike Debt we can better discuss the rationale and strategy of using FOB as the go-between entity.  We should also have as close to final of a draft of the agreement drafted at that  point.

Oops, I had intended to say 
 
    I recall some opposition to OB becoming a 501(c)3, but OB and FOB
    are NOT the same thing
