[QUOTE="DReq, post: 1898868, member: 11449"] Because anyone can start a collective there is no real central authority to get them unified. My concern is that such a system also opens the door for someone who has less than altruistic intent to get one of these going. I don't believe either of the existing ones fall into that category and would not suggest that they are or will be but the door is open for less scrupulous folks to jump into this market. There are tax limitations on how money must be treated by tax-advantaged organizations but there are those who take advantage of that to benefit themselves while not running afoul of the tax code. With the necessary wall between the University and the collectives it is a tricky situation. No quick and easy solutions. [/QUOTE]
