My concern is that most of the money will have been donated to further
particular aims and I don't think it's acceptable to have those aims changed
after the money has been given.  Maybe this can be protected with some sort
of donation contract or something like that, but we would need legal opinion
on that.  A council running the society which is protected by trustees is
probably a workable solution right now.
