Hm - I was just having a look at the current Articles of Association etc. Couple of comments:

 

- You might as well call your Articles of Association Bylaws. That's the terminology everyone uses and recognizes, and it helps to avoid confusion with the Articles of Incorporation.

 

- I believe the statement on the wiki that you only need a treasurer is *incorrect*. See CA code section 5213:

"A corporation shall have a chair of the board, who may be given the title chair of the board, chairperson of the board, chairman of the board, or chairwoman of the board, or a president or both, a secretary, a treasurer or a chief financial officer or both [...]"

"[...] no person serving as the secretary, the treasurer, or the chief financial officer may serve concurrently as the president or chair of the board."

So you need at a minimum a chair, secretary and treasurer, but secretary and treasurer could be the same person.

Yay!

 

We're about ready to submit ours for Counter Culture Labs. You can find tons of good info on http://form1023.org/ First thing to do will be to get your bylaws in order - the 1023 form (which is what you fill out for the 501(c)3 application) will ask you to quote specific paragraphs where various things are covered in your bylaws.

 

I have access to bylaws and 1023 forms from several organizations for reference, if someone wants to have a peak at them.

At tonight's meeting there was unanimous consensus, well beyond
quorum, on applying for 501c3. If no objections are made on the
mailing list, that is going to happen.
