Quite true. To that end we also must make sure that PG Canada is
completely separate from PG US, or start a separate organization.
This organization must be incorporated, and it should also be a
registered charity. Don't know how to incorporate, but I found the
application for charity status here:

Does anyone know the current legal status of PG Canada? Any lawyers here
who want to help set this up properly?
Additionally, as was mentioned previously offlist, we need to get some
people in the literary field involved, or at least to lend their names.
The bigger the names the better. Does anybody know how to contact any
big names?
I sent an email off to James Linden to try and get some technical
information about the current project status. Hopefully I'll here back
soon. I'll keep you posted.
