NEWBIE QUESTION: Sorry for coming into the discussion a bit late, but
I've been following this for the last couple of days and must have
missed and am still failing to understand the legalities/conflicts of
interest that would prevent WMF from being the issuer of press
passes. What's up with that? Why the need for a separate organization?

the accreditation process atm is mostly for

is because its the only process to have acheived approval from the
foundation.
It was never actually approved by the foundation, nor can they ever
safely approve it, hence the need for a separate organization.
