===Software Freedom Conservancy===

Sugar Labs has applied for membership within the [http://conservancy.softwarefreedom.org Software Freedom Conservancy] (SFC). This would place the project under the umbrella of a 501.3(c) foundation. "The Conservancy provides member projects with free financial and administrative services, but does not involve itself with technological and artistic decisions. By joining the Conservancy, member FOSS projects can obtain the benefits of a formal legal structure while keeping themselves focused on software development." Governance must be maintained by Sugar Labs on its own behalf to provide for the long term success and stability of Sugar. (The Conservancy Board has provisionally approved Sugar Lab's application to join the Conservancy.)

The following ''proposed'' governance model is largely derived from the model used by the Gnome Foundation (Please see [http://foundation.gnome.org/about/ gnome.org/about]).
