It's worth discussing reasons not to create a foundation / organisation / association instead of assuming it must be a good thing.

  • opportunity for centralised control -- could become disconnected from the existing community process
  • the existing scheme might be sufficient
  • we already have a long term holder of Koha assets, HLT seems fine; not broke, why fix it
  • 'governance' is cited as a good outcome but without specifics or scope described it will mean irreconcilably different things to different people
  • Regional organisations could be used to coordinate local resource/idea sharing
