Awesome. I don't imagine that you have the time to sort things out and put a structure in place personally, so I hope that someone can be empowered to do so.

Membership options, such as the Drupal Association has, would help with fund raising. I would be willing to contribute to an annual membership and I think many of my peers would be also. Of course there are now lots of businesses in the WordPress ecosystem who would also be willing to pitch in.

WP org has great volunteers, but needs further person-power. I appreciate that Automattic seconds staff to help with WP org. If we can increase the WordPress Foundation's funding then more staff could be hired and it wouldn't all fall on Automattic.
