It is really a follow-up question. The poll is about general scope. If there’s a preference on that it may be better to see that reflected in the domain name.
An option might be to host the forum under the domain of fedi.foundation, which stands for “Federated Diversity Foundation” and ‘foundation’ is in the meaning of “the basis upon which we stand” and not an incorporated non-profit.
But that is premature too. We first need to determine if there’s ANY willingness for the Commons to keep the initiative and control of their own fate. In other words can we in this chaotic grassroots movement manage to get any decent kind of organization and process going, that can stop corporations from taking over the reigns completely.
(PS. Positioning as “Federated Diversity Foundation” would be a good start to make significant diversity improvements and structurally address serious concerns like those touted by @jdp23. But a precondition is that there’s interest to form a Community of Action and go beyond just-a-forum for random posts.)
I discussed with @how about this matter. And we decided that we aren’t in a hurry to make any quick decision (impossible anyway since community consensus is needed). Instead in the upcoming OFFDEM unconference a Fediverse track might be prepared.
Yes it is interesting. Though I guess that is a discussion best held in the W3C mailing list.
For this unfortunate turn of events I just concluded my thoughts on the matter.
