    Excellent idea!!

    I think it would be most helpful to have some sort of project board established with a detailed plan, all tasks involved in bringing this idea to life and who is to be responsible for each.

    If this is to be an organization we should of course start with being organized in the creation and development.

    In regards to the contributing members and membership fees; I agree there should indeed be a supporters fee in place, also an ODO Approved seal image with a link back to the site should be a requirement of ALL directory owners involved on any level.

    I have much more to say on the subject, however this should likely be taken to some sort of private area to prevent the idea being hijacked by naughty people.

    That being said I am on my way now to sign up @ the above mentioned forum :)

    he is already an admin.
    he is also the cashier in case someone, in the future, donates (don't think it would be necesarely). I don't really like playing with other peoples money

    For the moment we are gathering opinions and inviting directory owners attention it will come to that phase. ;)

    I don't think the name choosen is good for this project, we need something more neutral. We really need this site to become a resource for folks seeking quality backlinks in established directories. The name choosen conveys a place for directory owners to hang-out or do business.

    Give it some time to get momentum. A lot of people will hold back on joining until there's evidence of tangible benefits. It's one of those network-effect things: the more people are in the network, the more value there is for everyone involved.
