More info about options for channeling funding to the TC

I e-mailed fairly extensively with OASIS staff last week.
Here is the additional information that I gathered:

OASIS Foundation as-a-service is really not an option for us.
It does NOT work in conjunction with OASIS-standards production process; they work that these OASIS foundations produce
are not standards.
Working with Open Collective is definitely an option.
The costs for doing this are as following:
10% of funds collected go to Open Collective.
The percentage of the funds collected by OASIS varies.
They collect 0% if the funds come from OASIS members, but 25% if the funds come from companies that are not OASIS members.
OASIS
has indicated a willingness to lower this percentage for non-OASIS members for the first year.
So in the long run, since we anticipate most of the funds collected would come from non-OASIS members, the cost of administration would be ~ 35% a year.

Best,
Kris

Folks, please check out the links in the e-mail from Chet Ensign below.
I think the OASIS Foundation as a service looks very promising

Kris,

Scott is on vacation so I'll follow up with him on our work with the Baseline project next week.

Meanwhile...

- Open Collective: https://opencollective.com/ "It s a fundraising + legal status + money management platform for your community."

- OASIS Foundation-as-a-Service:
https://www.oasis-open.org/foundation-as-a-service/

and the baseline repo where they are managing their grants:
https://github.com/eea-oasis/baseline-grants

- they have a link to the Open Collective portal under 'Contribute to the Fund.'

Let's catch up again on this topic after you've gotten some feedback from others on the TC.
