Notes:
- This is very much a work in progress.
- Only had one conversation on 5/2/2008 between Trent, Brett, and Doc Searls about it.
- The basic concept is to form a new Administrative Management entity under the aegis of Berkman that would serve as a "parent" entity tailored to projects like DataPortability and Project VRM.
- VRM needs something like this, and we talked about how similar we are to them, and that a shared administrative / legal layer makes sense.
- Many issues need to be fleshed out.
- Further discussions ongoing, and more to report as they progress.
