Re: [AGA SC] Treasurer Transition and a few questions

["S. Hieber" <shieber@yahoo.com>]

I'll bet the law states that THE CLERK and the principle
offices msut be in MA, so probably just one will do. After
all, there's no reson why a organization couldn't have more
than one set of principle offices.  Maybe we should call
one of the clerks the Emergency Backup Clerk. Or maybe jsut
pronounce the title of one of them Clark, lke they do in
England. The diff won't show up in print, but in
conversation, it would be very clear.

Some of the general probs with Corp.s is how do you
individuate them and their parts, physically locate them,
and track the money in and out. The first two of those
problems are the basic philosophical problems of identity
that philosophy grad students spend their grant money, and
often your tax money, pursuing. The laws are infamously
inadequate for dealing with these problems if a corp.'s
directors are at all determined to be elusive -- the more
infamous examples have been in relatively recent headlines.
But the hodge-podge of rules, regs, and laws, which vary
greatly from state to state, while a boon of loopholes for
the big liars, can be a real pain for honest little
pipsqueak outfits.

One would expect such trouble (identity, individuation,
location) with corp.s, which, in essence are pretend
entities -- what philosophers might call fictive persons
created by the pretense of law and habit of social
convention without any genuine ontological presence.

I hope you read this close to bed time. If so, it's my
little present for the evening ;-)
