Re: Public Interest legal aid markup

I feel that profitStatus addresses the gap efficiently and can be quickly
implemented.

The ICNPO component was meant to be an ice breaker in discussing a
global-friendly addition for additional context.

In the US we of course can use things like corporate income tax status:
501(c). There’s also an NAICS category for “giving.”

Thanks,
Alan LaFrance
