Well, the ones with extra money, of course :-)

But, the question I had was whether any of the options (1-4) made creating
(later on) such entities easier, or if they were all the same.

One of the problems was that there was some weirdness about who to make
the checque to.  (We could probably have solved that very specific problem
rather quickly without all of this, but I know that it was a tip of the
iceberg issue)

As a member of the IAOC finance subcmte, I'm aware that a problem is just
getting more checques.  Having a more diverse set of sponsors would be good,
as well as getting more from each one.

okay, that's fine, I get where you are going, and perhaps you'll illuminate
me privately over a beer.   The problem of jurisdictions for NGOs that do
international work can't be unique to us.
