If the nonprofit's proposal were written to be a collective...it would probably work if submitted and approved. But then the "collective" would have to follow the same rules as the other nonprofits and would have the license renewal fees to deal with every year. I don't believe a collective would work, as you said, due to the costs. Are there revenues in a collective? Maybe my understanding of a collective and yours are two different things? I would think a $30,000 license renewal fee (after the 3rd year) would be cost prohibitive for a collective. IMHO. Currently, the rules are not written to allow for collectives.
