The SAGE Mathematics Foundation

SAGE clearly needs a SAGE Foundation.

There is already something called [http://thesagefoundation.org/ The SAGE foundation] in New Jersey. (The financial section of their website is interesting, since they post several relevant IRS documents.)

Note that http://www.irs.gov/charities/ lists several charities whose status has recently been revoked which have the same name. (They were from different states though.) Possibly a SAGE Foundation of New Jersey is unique.

Mission Statement

Organizational Structure

Treasurer

this allows several people to share the treasury duties. The Chair could just email another board member and say "Type ... into the spreadsheet for me would you?" TB: This sounds convenient, but may not be prudent. For nonprofit status, we need to be 100% certain that our accounting, is, well, accountable. If google spreadsheet doesn't track every change, an audit could be a nightmare

Do any other mathematics software systems, e.g., Axiom, Magma, GAP, PARI, etc., have a foundation?
