contention that each SO/ACs would need to become an
unincorporated association ("UA") rather than merely create
one. Admittedly, the issue of how each SO/AC can control
its "alter ego" has not been fully fleshed out. However, I
believe this was discussed at some length on the legal sub
team call and it seems that between the bylaws of the UA and
the charter of the SO/AC there should be very tight control
by the SO/AC over any actions of the UA.</font></span></div>

As a non-member of the legal sub-team, I am curuious, why wouldn't
one of the SOAC want to just become an UA instead of creating an
additional entity? What are the legal disadvantages of transforming
into an UA? As opposed to being on.<br>
<br>
Or has this already been documented in one of the many docs and I
just missed it? <br>
