I can't speak as to why enforcement is not occuring and I can't make any
promises. If the outlook is poor then I suppose we just don't proceed.
The liability is already there for the IRS piece. I hope those on the
board are aware of it. The silver lining for them is that the
foundation has enough money to pay any penalties and backtaxes.
My intent is to remove the "limitation of liability" by-law which
attempts to shielf trustees and officers, but really only can affect
certain things such as lawsuits against the Foundation. e.g. former dev
suing for X.
