In reply to David Decker.

In order for that to happen, the Foundation would have to conduct itself as - well, an actual Foundation - meaning a public organisation with transparency in its officers, staff, and governance procedures, all of which would accountable to the community. It would use those healthy structures to raise funds from the community (as the Drupal Association does through its sliding scale of membership dues), as well as from grant-making organisations and philanthropic bodies working on the open web, to support WordPress's mission and the people who carry it out, whether that took the form of supporting contributors or carrying out special projects reflecting our position of influence.

Until that day never comes, the Foundation is a paper-only corporation for tax purposes, whose processes are accessible only to people who know how to do advanced U.S. corporate Googling.
