Both projects sound great, interested to hear more about plans to lay infrastructure for village. Only concern for (2) is "associated general liability insurance" - maybe that's something we need to see proof of before fiscal sponsorship so that Omni wouldn't be taking on any liability? I imagine Jesse would know.<br />

<div>Hey omninoms,<br /><br />I've gotten backlogged on work this past week and apologize for the urgency of this email. Tonight or tomorrow I'll be sending along two proposals that require relatively rapid response.<br /><br />Unfortunately, I'm still waiting back on final feedback from Jesse (our lawyer) and a written proposal from The Village, but I wanted to send something out tonight so that it's on folks' radar:<br /><br /></div>
1) Fiscally sponsoring (grant model) a crowdfunding campaign that Daniel launched on October 7th to raise funds for a school in Guatemala that was devastated by a tropical storm: <a href="https://www.youcaring.com/escuelaoficialbarriochajsaquil-974517">https://www.youcaring.com/escuelaoficialbarriochajsaquil-974517</a></div>
<div><em>* Deadline to attach a bank account is October 22nd, but we may be able to retroactively reroute funds sent to a personal bank account.</em></div>
<div> </div>
2) Fiscally sponsoring (project model, possible application for Omni membership) The Village, which has successfully pressured the City of Oakland to declare a Shelter Crisis Ordinance and agree to hand over some city-owned land parcels for them to build viable villages for the homeless and provide wraparound support services.</div>
<div><em>* Deadline to provide proof of fiscal sponsorship and associated General Liability insurance is October 24th.</em></div>
</div>
There are of course more detailed aspects to each of these proposals, but they remain pending for the time being - our shared deadline is tomorrow before the Delegate's Meeting. In terms of expediting these important projects, we could figure out a way to do this fairly that might include 1) provisional fiscal sponsorship (eg, 1-3 months), 2) abstentions from collectives that have consensus processes but would likely not object, and 3) utilizing old-omni's 501c3 to sponsor The Village, which has the same board as omni but no assets that could be put into jeopardy. <br />

<div>
<div>
<div>

<div>I will post each proposal as a separate post to this list (I've cc'd sudo and all are encouraged to forward to their collectives) sometime over the next 24 hours.</div>
