History

• See also: Incorporation

When Miraheze was founded in July 2015, all of its assets (i.e. funds, domain names and servers) were under the control of John Lewis. During December 2015 ~ December 2019, Brent Laabs was in charge of this.

However, this is not a viable situation. All of Miraheze being the responsibility and personal assets of one person poses major risks in various ways for all stakeholders. As such, incorporation was deemed mandatory. In the initial plans, Miraheze would become a 501(c)(3) organization in the United States, but in late 2019 after considering and exploring different statuses, it was decided to start a not-for-profit company in the United Kingdom. Owen Baines, a family member of John, has taken the lead to do all the required paper work and organisation of this not-for-profit company.

The not-for-profit company, Miraheze Limited, was registered on 20 November 2019. Due to several issues that need to be handled (for example the transfer of assets), it has been decided that there will be a transition period until 31 December 2019. As such, changes will be small and planned but should not cause any impact on users.
