Ownership #21

Who owns what and how do we describe it?

The organization needs to be setup in such a way that the ones who are in the Leadership group, owns the project and is responsible for day-to-day activities and decisions. It has to be a democratic group who would be decided by the members and other leaders of the project.

This involves being registered legally as a part of the team of the legal entity and be familiar with how it works in the jurisdiction we implement it in.

Right now, the team of Open-Registry is very small, there is one member in the Members group and one member of the Leadership group, both of which is me.

This is obviously too small, so if you're interested in building a new registry, apply to become a part of Members or Leadership so we have more owners of the project. The way to proceed with this is to open up a issue declaring why you would be a good fit to be either a Member or Leader.

What's missing here is describing what's above, in the governance bylaws and implementing it legally somewhere. This also ties into financing, which I opened another more specific issue about. See https://github.com/open-services/open-registry/issues/20
