I wish to know what has been done towards Gentoo achieving non-profit
status.  I think it is crucial for the gentoo system to become
non-profit, considering the volunteer support it receives.  This
question is directed at Gentoo management. 

Most non-profits start their work and declare themselves as non-profits
before getting an IRS Employer Identification Number/Tax ID as a
non-profit. Why hasn't Gentoo done the same? 

My questions are what are Gentoo's self-imposed deadlines for non-profit
status? 

Who in the government on what date has been contacted so far, and what
forms have been filed, could a copy be posted on the web? 

Every non-profit has a mission. What is Gentoo's 501(c)3 mission? 

Gentoo has a management structure. 501(c)3s have boards. Who is on the
Gentoo Board? 

Who is drafting the non-profit bylaws? 

I will gladly undertake the administrative task (except for signing of
course) for Gentoo management if they need some help with this stuff.

As a frame of reference on the timelines, I have seen non-profit teen
pregnancy centers with one half-time volunteer register themselves for
non-profit status within about a month. 

Thanks for spending time responding to this. Thanks!
