That sounds like the need for a working group, not a separate legal entity.

If OSMF can't deal with a sub-task to handle UK-related matters, what
hope is there of any sub-organisation dealing with sub-sub-tasks? Do
we need to incorporate OSMF-GB-London-Postboxes Ltd, or would
OSMF-GB-London be able to set up a relevant working group?

We only need separate legal entities when we reach the edges of
separate legal systems. It feels like we're having a "relations are
not categories" argument here - we don't need to put every different
activity into a separate legal body.

Cheers,
Andy
