If you remember, I tried to create an IGLU amuta some time ago and failed
misrabely.
The main issue was that most poeple didn't really feel motivated about this,
or not enough so to address the hard work needed to set it up and I feared
I'm going to get stuck with a useless Amuta with the relevant obligations
and not so many members.
That, along with some problmes with getting an accountant to work for us pro
bono took the wind out
of my sails...
I still think it can be done, but since then I slowly realised that there
might not be a (good) reason.
Being an amuta has advantages, but we seem to go along quite well without
it.
Maybe it's a good time and place to say "Sorry!" for all the people who did
try to help and
nothing came out of it.
