I sent a note to the discuss list a week or so ago with links and
amounts needed, to hopefully make this easy. The bottom line: get
it started ASAP because it takes a month or so to complete.<br>
<br>
And Patrik, yes CCL will need to do this too. In fact every group
at Omni that takes money (members, rent, selling stuff) will need
to do it.<br>

-------- My prior note --------<br>
<br>
A business license is something you apply for at the City of
Oakland. Straightforward process, requires filing a form and
paying a $60 fee, then running a notice in a local (authorized)
printed newspaper for some number of days, then the City sends you
a paper saying you're licensed to do business. You should have one
already (within 30 days of starting your business).<br>

<br>
If you file the papers with the City then wait a couple of days
before doing the posting in, say, the Oakland Tribune (for
something like $70?), some other outfit will send a postcard
advertising the same service for closer to $35 or $40. I used them
last time I filed and it worked just fine.<br>
<br>
Note that this will also tick the box that tells the City to send
business tax notices too.<br>

there is a risk that the current owner of our domain could
"drop" it, which would send it immediately to auction where we
might lose it to squatters, unless we
<br>
pay huge money to get it back.
<br>
<br>
for this reason i suggest that we go the route of getting
the host to hand it over to us because we are a "business" and
we own the name. Lots of people have
<br>
said they know how to do this, has anyone started the
process?
<br>
<br>
in the meantime, i think that people should NOT contact
this person on twitter without prior discussion and agreement at
a meeting.
<br>
<br>
I think we should ask godaddy to hand it over now, and see
what they say in response. Maybe they'll say "we require a
business license from the city" or maybe
<br>
they'll say "here you go"
<br>
<br>
have we even tried yet?
<br>
<br>
Yes I spent quite a while on the phone with them and they do
require a business license.

<br>
<br>

<br>
<br>
who wants to go and actually get the business license?
<br>
<br>
who wants to pay for the business license (we need money)?
