Ive sent a V2 of this patch without this wallet, but to awnser your questions

This is FFmpegs gnosis safe wallet, i have originally set it up
The wallet is controlled by the General Assembly of FFmpeg and SPI

And the General Assembly can change the person(s) who control the wallet
For example the GA could simply choose any people it wants
these people then could make a transaction. for example it could be setup as a 2 of 3
multisig, so that 2 of 3 people have to agree on a transaction.

(of course once the GA does that, only these people can make future changes)

Currently the wallet is intended to only serve as a intermediate to move money
from crypto USDC to USD on SPIs/FFmpeg. This is not a taxable operation here
according to the tax adviser i have asked. But i still would like to limit
the use of this wallet until we are sure everything works in practice.

thx

You can kill me, but you cannot change the truth.
