My suggestion is that we form a new working group responsible for setting up an agreement with DLF/CLIR, with the end result subject to ratification by a community vote. Anybody with interest and experience to share should feel free to step forward, but I especially suggest that members of current and past conference planning and budget committees consider volunteering as well as folks who may have participated on either side of a fiscal sponsorship arrangement. I also suggest that folks from the Code4Lib Journal participate as well, especially given that there is both income and potential expenses related to the journal. On a house-keeping note, I have verified with Bethany Nowviskie of CLIR/DLF that she and Sharon Ivy Weiss are the primary contacts on their end. On another house-keeping note, there is a time slot allocated for fiscal continuity discussions during the 2018 conference that could be used by such a working group for meetings or presentations as it sees fit. I can help convene an initial meeting of such a working group, but one of its first tasks presumably will include choosing a chair. I further suggest that we use this email thread to further flesh out what the charge and expected process of the working group would be.
