So you are saying that because I'm a member of the foundation, a participant on this list and a reprentative of a sponsor I can't donate money to Outreachy and ask for the intern to work on projects here?
What if I wasn't a member? What if I decide which project the intern works on rather than the ASF doing that? What if the intern decides?

Is that acceptable?) Alex, I think that the position is that the ASF has substantial control if we induce donors to give funds to Outreachy that are earmarked for the ASF and then have a strong (possibly highly distributed and not board-driven) hand in picking what proposals are matched with interns. I don't think that there is a suggestion that the donations be open for any placement and I don't that there is a suggestion on the table for ASF to not have a voice in which projects get matched to interns. That voice or influence might be as light as projects finding mentors and writing up possible projects and then accepting or rejecting intern candidates. That is pretty similar to the logic used in, say, campaign finance laws that coordination is the key question rather than whose name is on the check.
