Hello Sudo-Crowd.
This mailing list has been around for a while and used infrequently. Now that the deadlines for creating an equity crowdfunding intermediary with FINRA is just around the corner, I was hoping that this list could have as its first objective to have sudo-crowd apply to be a crowdfunding intermediary.
Otherwise, I thought that this list would facilitate better information sharing and collaborative work on crowdfunding generally and in Oakland in particular.
So as for introductions -
I'm Eddan of eddan.com. I was a co-founder and ex-Exchequer of Sudo Room and had been interested in collaborative business models that would be enabled by more horizontal capital flows since early on in discussion about Sudo Room's means of ownership and governance.
My expertise is in Internet law - intellectual property, privacy, cybercrime - at both a domestic and international level.
I live in Oakland with my wife and kindergarten age daughter, and generally work out of the 2141 Broadway space during the day.
I believe strongly that a sense of ownership contributes to one's pride in what they do and investment beyond a salary.
Interested to know who else is on here. I know that Caroline Lee is now on, who has been doing specific research on the Equity Crowdfunding provisions of the JOBS Act through the Sustainable Economies Law Center. I was hoping this could be a great forum in which to share knowledge and work through issues regarding crowdfunding with the unique expertise assembled.

Hi Sudo Crowd.
Not sure if everyone is familiar with Vator.tv (http://vator.tv/), a tech startup network/news/events portal.
They will be holding their Vator Splash event here in Oakland Apr. 1-2, 2014 (http://vator.tv/events/splash-oak-april-2014) and the folks running the event are big fans of Oakland.
It's a pretty big thing and the folks who run it have asked if folks interested in equity crowdfunding want to set up a parallel series of events that are more hack-a-thon like and of interest to co-operatives and advocacy organizations.
Ideas and suggestions for topics, speakers, and activities would be much appreciated.
-Eddan

>
> Due to the concurrence of the initial deadline and the holidays, SASB has extended the deadline for comments from the public on standards for industries in the Technology & Communications sector. Those providing comments should keep in mind that the proposed disclosure standards are intended to be integrated in standard filings of publicly-traded companies, such as the Form 10-K. As such, they reflect auditable information that is likely to be material to investors and can be disclosed in a cost-effective manner.
>
> The standards have been developed based on extensive evidence-based research and significant, balanced input from more than 220 corporations, investors and other stakeholders (representing $2.3T assets under management and $1.9T market capitalization) in our Industry Working Groups. The public comment period is the next step in finalizing the standards. They will then be reviewed by SASB's independent Standards Council, finalized and issued for use by companies in the sector in March 2014.
>
> The Technology & Communications sector includes the following industries:
> Electronic Manufacturing Services & Original Design Manufacturing
> Software & IT Services
> Hardware
> Semiconductors
> Telecommunications
> Internet Media & Services
> To access the exposure drafts, and for instructions on how to submit comments, please click here.
>
> All comments received, as well as SASB's response to each comment, will be posted publicly as part of our open and transparent process.
>
>
> About SASB: The Sustainability Accounting Standards Board™ (SASB™) is a 501(c)3 non-profit that develops accounting standards designed for the disclosure of material sustainability issues in annual filings to the SEC, such as the Form 10-K and 20-F.
