MCM - General Councel

[krandall@world.std.com]

* Incorporation options

  * Non-profit organization
    * Less work, possibly lower benefit

  * Non-profit charity
    * Higher level of accountability
    * More work
    * People can donate money for tax deduction

[Art, I check with Dave on the dues thing, and he says dues are _not_
deductable if it includes a magazine "subscription"]

  * In either case, _we_ will not be taxed

[My personal feeling is to go with the NP organization status]

  * Need to incorporate in a state with favorable laws
    * Art has suggested, PA, MD and FL as good choices
    * Bob suggested a state where we have an MC member

[I suggest FL, since Art will be handling most of this]

  * Bob asked for a break down of what extra work he will need to do 

* Organizational Chart
  * Karen sent a copy to everyone
  * Do we all agree to work with this unless Art says something needs to be
changed for     incorporation purposes?

* Bylaws

   * Need to be completed before we can incorporate

[Art, have you looked over what I sent you yet?  Are they OK for what we
need for incorporation, or do we need to make changes?  If they don't need
to be changed for the sake of incorporation, I'd like to release them to
the MC, so that they can look them over for discussion at the next meeting]
