I would be happy to do this. I volunteered to contact organizations for 
advice and to ask about the possibility of fiscal sponsorship this 
earlier (see the volunteers discussion on legal status), but I didn't go 
forward because there was no blessing from anyone to do so. If this 
effort is okay, I'm happy to talk to Jenn about it and even to talk to 
organizations about funding associated costs (e.g. legal fees).  I work 
with a few non-profits (in the U.S.).
