Gov Legal Finance

In principle: need to establish legal way of accepting money in a jurisdiction that has low maintenance cost (no need to pay for expensive accountant)

Current idea: accept 100$ as in joining fee / seriousness test that will pay for GoogleApps account for 2 years. See New Members Starter Kit.

Ownership
genesis belongs its members

We will allow some shares to be available for Investors (allocated pool, avoid dilution)

I suggest we operate just as a startup and try to reach seed round, series A...

The idea is to prove the model and then expand to other locations, see 10 Year Vision (and that is why serious is money will be required)

In the short run - Recruitment Agency - doesn't require much initial investment, I can use 'social capital' I already have and take advantage of 20+ years in Krakow and 4.5 years in the UK.

We adhere to Core Values
Whenever a law is against Core Values we step back and rephrase the question, rephrase the problem.

Everything In Public
Processes should be documented, accessible, transparent... (should need no explanation, reiterating for clarity)

Protecting weak
Law should protect weak - strong will take care of themselves. When in doubt we take the side of weaker. Example:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polish_referendum,_2015"Are you in favour of introducing a general rule of resolving doubts regarding the interpretation of taxation law in favour of the tax-payer?"94.51% said yes

1) because it is in favour of voters

2) because it is in favour of weaker side

Agility / Flexibility / Adaptability
https://www.google.com/search?q=strongest+smartest+darwin"It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is most adaptable to change."We need to be able to make decisions fast. Again the example of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polish_referendum,_2015"The voter turnout of 7.80 percent was well below the 50-percent threshold required for the referendum results to be legally binding."If there is a prediction of something going terribly wrong we are able to make decisions quickly (in this instance call it off).

Law of irreversibility
Always ask what worse could happen? Example:
 * If an action has easy, reversible fix - it is generally safe to apply
 * If an action has long-lasting irreversible consequences - be vigilant
 * I painted roof red, but we prefer white - no harm done - get some paint and re do
 * I cut the 100 year old oak tree - that is not cool
