[https://www.loomio.org/  Loomio] is a forum-like system where proposals can be started and managed and peoples reactions can be measured until there is a decision.

The group [https://www.spi-inc.org/ Software in the Public Interest] is a 501(c)(3) providing similar but more limited services to members than [https://sfconservancy.org/ Software Freedom Conservancy] but at a lower price. This may be relevant if we chose to form a charitable foundation outside the USA, we could then use it as a way to receive funds for USA based donations.
