Mr Schwartz *hosts* the forum, and his company has rights to the software on which it runs. The *ownership* of the forum, the forum name, the idea, is vested in a group of 10 known as the Founder's Group. This ownership has never been passed to ICD. The Founder's Group passed the moderation function to a elective moderation process, but they did not pass any ownership away. Theoretically the Founders Group, if they were talking to each other, could reform, take on an oversee function of the moderators, start the board up on another site or whatever. > You are here because >of the courtesy of Mr. Schwartz to allow you to be here. > Mr Schwartz has an executive power since he currently controls the on/off switch. But be clear, it is an executive power, not a political one, and not based on ownership of the forum. Mr Schwartz was *not* a member of the Founder Group, btw. He asked, via Enrique Irazoqui, to be allowed to be on it, but this request was turned down. > >Tim Frohlick
