Protocol

• Plan is to only meet during official sudo room meetings, simply requiring that we have board members show up (enough for quorum).
• No need to meet separately, unless a particular circumstance requires it.
• Get things done but keep things interesting through movement, art and entertainment like meeting nude at Korean bathhouses in San Leandro

History

• Sudo Room has incorporated with the state of California as a Nonprofit Public Benefit Corporation organized for public and charitable purposes
  • Followed these instructions http://www.sos.ca.gov/business/be/filing-tips-corp.htm#artsnp
