Only reason why I am looking at the charity angle [1] is so that 
donations to the project come with some form of benefit to the donor. 
Based on the info that I've been able to come up with, a CIC would be 
unable to do that.

On the flip side - we are still chasing the SPI / Conservancy umbrellas 
to see how we could do this with them, however its increasigly looking 
like the ecosystem is ready for atleast another few umbrellas. And 
atleast > 1 based in the EU [2].

Given the number of projects

[1]: As Caroline already pointed out, justification for being a charity 
might be hard.

[2]: Not that I mean to imply that the UK is a part of the EU... so 
perhaps a UK based on and another in the EU.
