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.

for those also interested in alternative currencies, work-sharing, and other crowd-like work and skill scenarios.

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 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.

Of all the triple bottom line reporting standards floating around, I think the SASB initiative is foundational and most relevant to smaller organizations. I wanted to dig deep into one of their standards-setting process and think the Tech one may be very interesting to look at.
I know Anthony was interested in working on this. Anyone else?
