The only way I can see this being probable is if the following are accomplished and done:
(It might be a difficult road, but then again, it might not be, it really depends on how much effort we put into it.)
1.) We're going to have to do some MONDO fund raising. We're going to have to think of some ideas that are going to work, and we're going to have to have someone take care of the money, and be honest about it. I don't think honesty will be an issue, but raising money will be. When we were talking about changes on MGO, I mentioned a self-defense fund, and was told numerous times that MGO won't be able to raise nearly enough money to have a self-defense fund. They have 5x more members than we do. I hate to say it, but if that's the case, that's kind of discouraging.
2.) I think we need to sit down with a lawyer and write up a contract that says if you use MOC money to win your case, and are awarded monetary damages, that you are to pay 20+% of your total winnings back to MOC, no questions asked. It's only fair to keep us going.
3.) We're going to have to figure out a system of how claims are processed, and what they are processed for. Who get's the money and who doesn't? Do only contributing members get money? Can anyone waltz up here and file a claim? How are claims processed? Do we give money for OC-related cases only? What about Self-defense cases? I think we're going to need to create a board of trustees or something along those lines to make these decisions.
If we're going to do this on a serious note, we can't just jump right in. It needs to be thought out and planned accordingly.
