  == FLOSS Entities Working Group ==
  * **Sponsor:** Allison Randal
++* [[Working Group Proposal>>doc:Main.Open Source Initiative Working Groups.FLOSS Entities Working Group Proposal.WebHome]]
  * [[Working Group Home Page>>url:http://wiki.opensource.org/bin/Projects/entities%2Dwg]]
  * **Description:** This working group is aligned with the OSI's misson to promote and protect Open Source, especially focusing on the "protect" aspects. Applying for 501(c)(3) or (c)(6) status has become the norm for new FLOSS projects. If that route were no longer feasible, it could result in serious harm to the future growth of Open Source. It is critical both to research the recent responses from the IRS and determine if we are in the midst of a trend-shift, and to explore alternatives to IRS 501(c) status for young projects.
