+1 you can not come off as campaigning if you're a 501 in anyway

Seriously. Help.
I removed "city governance candidates meet and greets" from Side 3,
Part II, Question 8.
It's very important that sudo room does not come off as affecting
political campaigns. This is a huge red flag for the IRS!
Note in Section D there is even a question:
"Does the organization support or oppose candidates in political
campaigns in any way?"
To which our answer is an emphatic "No"
Further, sudo room has never (and in my heart of hearts I hope /will
never/) host governance candidates for any intentional purpose other
than simply as community participants like anyone else.

I get off work early tomorrow and can pick up the

7th, unless otherwise instructed. Accordingly, be
advised if the role you were assigned is not
fulfilled in a timely manner then that section

rejection of our application- no pressure. Please
make every effort to complete your tasks by
tomorrow by 4pm, I will be compiling the document
with Vicky and Jenny around that time (I'll get
off work around then).
As of now this is the status of everything to my
knowledge (I welcome corrections):

--Edit Questions 8
-Matt https://pad.riseup.net/p/sudostatetaxes
--Review part VI No. 1&3-
Matt https://pad.riseup.net/p/sudostatetaxes
--Review bylaws and make edits where necessary.
Modifications will not be content related. -Whit
--Review edited bylaws- Whit will send revised
version to Matt and he can upload them to the wiki
where everyone can look them over.
--Print part IV- Whit (this is address etc.
information of the BOD. I will not be uploading
this to any wiki/drive/riseup for privacy reasons)
--Maintain possession of relevant documents - Vicky
-------- Form - 3500 working copy

--Copy Edit/Review - Jenny (EVERYTHING WE ATTACH
MUST INCLUDE ORG NAME AND STATE ID NUMBER C3617428)
Known Possible Problems:
There was not consensus as to the existence of
SI-100 nor CT-1 forms which we should have filled
out and submitted previously. If anyone knows
where they might be or can obtain a copy please
let me know ASAP. If they don't show up then they
wont be in our submission.
Copy of receipts and expenses- We are assuming
bank statements will suffice, and that might not
be appropriate.
Please take action and/or email me corrections or
otherwise inform me of any mistakes/omissions.

Can someone else handle or bottom line

Good to know I don't have to review the
articles of association, and in that
case, I'm going to start going over and
formatting the bylaws and articles of
incorporation to include in our submission.
It now looks like every little
responsibility has been bottom lined.
*I propose that those who can, meet on
Tuesday at 7 at Sudoroom to collect what
we have so far and whip up a near-final

things and compliment you behind your back.

This has been the plan whenever
we've discussed it. The articles of /association/ are for our use and are intended to
be updated freely without any legal weight, just the weight of our belief in the system we
are creating.

In
theory,
since
the
Articles of

can
change,
and
they
are
actually what
govern
sudo
room,
so it
may be
better
not to
submit
them.... Although
the
latest
version
should
be on
the
wiki, I
don't
think
this is
relevant for
the
state
and
federal
paperwork.
Yes, I agree. We need not, and
should not, submit our Articles of
Association to the state. The
3500 refers to articles of
incorporation. Most organizations
don't have "articles of
association". It's just
a weird anarchist thing that we did over a
year before we became any sort of
legal entity. :)
If it
hasn't
happened already,
we
should
also
gain
consensus
on the
bylaws
and
articles [of
incorporation]
before
submitting
them. I
believe
Yar
said we
never
submitted
the
bylaws
because
we
never
gained
consensus.
Is
there
an
expedited
process
for
getting
a
decision on
this?
In
theory,
this is
due on
Nov 7,
although I've
heard
the
penalties
for
delay
are not
severe.
Consensus
was never
really the
issue.
Laziness
was the
issue.
There were
a number of
Sudoroom
meetings
last year
where
consensus
was clear
about the
direction
we wanted
to go, but
it was just
never
implemented. If
we can have
something
ready to
read on
Wednesday
and mail on
Thursday,
that's
icing on
the cake,
but I say
just do
what we
need to do
for now,
including
mailing it
before
Wednesday
if need be.
From what I
understand,
we'll have
the chance
to change
things
again when
we do 501c3
so it's
just an
interim
document.
