Since this is a volunteer organization, and it seems to me that you have 
the most interest in it, and if you refuse to let this go, then I have 
a suggestion. Hire a lawyer and write up a legally sound plan, and then 
submit it. Until then, you're demanding things of people that simply 
aren't going to happen, just because you demand it.
