2. Articles of Incorporation

What's required of a board member?

http://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/nonprofit-directors-personal-liability-32357.html

London Hack Space uses http://www.oneclickorgs.com/ instead of board meetings.

Use terminology "Board of Trustees" http://wiki.london.hackspace.org.uk/view/Directors

"Although some trustees are also very active members of the community, it isn't the trustees' duty to handle day-to-day running of the space. This is handled by members themselves."

Trustees are responsible for:

Making sure that the organisation is operating in accordance with its goals.

Ensuring that the organisation is financially healthy.

Setting the constitution and rules of the space, in consultation with the members.

Formally warning and banning members in accordance with the Grievance Procedure.

relevant: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internal_Revenue_Code

this site is the housing/food co-op that brendan was a member of the board at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brown_Association_for_Cooperative_Housing

this is a great organization that seems to sesonate with the structure of the shared space we spoke of. I think we could benefit by reaching out to organizations like this to get tips, or even just stories from more experienced folks. http://www.as220.org/
