Certainly, the ease of doing it this way is attractive. has SwaNH taken other
UGs under its wing?
Apart from the SIGs they directly formed, they adopted the NH Software
President's Forum, took on the Greater Nashua Software Entrepreneurs
Group (GNSEG) as an affiliate, and lent some kind of support to the
Manchester Java Users Group. In other words, there is no single standard
for the type of relationship.
I'm afraid giving us as much time as we like to engineer a solution =>
infinity. We've been discussing setting up the organization since, well,
maybe the second meeting. in 1994. I think the exercise of figuring out what
it is we want to do and to claim to be, is the reward itself.
For some people, yes. I think some are happy with the group just being,
without knowing what it claims to be. Do be do be do, that is the question
(and song lyric). There is an intersection between mission (that ponderous
word) and legalisms when you talk about handling money.

GNHLUG could join SwANH (the Software Association of New Hampshire) for
corporate purposes. That gets you a bank account, P.O. Box, phone number,
and non-profit status. All the legal work is taken care of.
Then you can still set up GNHLUG-specific forms of governance, and take
as long as you want to "engineer" the ideal organizational structure.
