In practice and in the short term, it's pretty much a non-issue, though; I'd certainly trust Lysator to act the credible other part to prove a non-profit, non-Martin Bähr organization in this context.
lol, i didn't say i don't want to be part of a pike organization, i only won't be able to handle money on behalf of the pike community. so in said organization i would not be willing to be the treasurer.
We chose IDA over Lysator for the reasons above to avoid any potential long-term issues with shifting board leaderships and the like
ok. in the current situation however, since bill is the primary editor of the book, and therefore the person who should have most of the say on how the money is spent anyways, it makes a lot of sense to have him handle the money.
the only 'problem' is the cost of the money transfer to the US.
