The treasurer of my ISOC chapter said it took a loooong time to get
(Federal) 501c3 status for the chapter.
Overall it seems better to use the one that's already in place.
Of course I don't know what/how bad these headaches are:
"inherited bureaucratic headaches from ooc (old-omni entity)"
I second jorrit on using the old entity, as long as it
our lawyer gives us
the OK. It seems like the easier option. And our bylaws need a rewrite
anyway, maybe this would be a good reason to give them a once over?
