Hi Kenneth
I am with a New York state non-profit organization that runs a number of exits. I am not a lawyer, but I have surely spent years discussing these and other related issues with many lawyers.
Good to know. Keeps me and my cohorts from reinventing the wheel.
I could be wrong, but I think LLC was only mentioned as an example of a type of legal entity in that article. It's not that you couldn't use a classic "C corporation" just the same. The central point was to have a separate legal entity - a corporation ( even an incorporated association or club might work.) A non-profit is generally formed as a corporation anyway.
I figured as much, on both counts, but I wanted to nail it down. That a Tor exit node is best run under the aegis of some sort of corporate set-up is a given; *which* set-up doesn't particularly matter. Is this a fair assessment?
So probably that Idaho nonprofit would be fine. I'd be happy to talk to them if it's helpful, and/or provide referrals to others.
Much appreciated! Come to think of it, there's another nonprofit venue with which I am involved which may be suitable for Tor. Stay tuned.
