Agenda

501(c)3

Once we apply how long is the process? Probably on the order of months
Fundraising for SOTMUS: we can't tell people we're a non-profit
Eleanor: could we partner with a 501c3 to help make donations/sponsorships happen?

Meeting with Debbie

It went well, we're going to categorize things in Quickbooks and probably write off the difference in the Wells Fargo account that we haven't gotten statements on yet

Bylaws

Not a lot of substantial feedback
Tanya pointed out that the minimum number of directors changed to 3 from 4
Alyssa: I'd slightly prefer 5-9 rather than 3
Eleanor: we have 5 now, if someone dropped out we'd have ot have an election right away or we wouldn't be able to do any business
Alex: that's my concern: if someone drops out we're stuck
Alex: going to summarize this discussion and put a vote in the Github ticket for us to vote on
We need to turn >100 people out, so get ready to send lots of e-mail
We recommend the bylaws to the membership and when they pass the vote they are ratified. We don't have to vote again on them other than voting as members.
