- November is officially Play With Your Node Month!
- Marc investigated relay and exit nodes. The relay nodes seem like they might be $17/month. For an exit node we may need to find a hosting service that supports an abuse contact listing. The cheapest exit node option he found was $150/mo. We might be able to use the relay node vps for an exit node for now.

Discussion on Incorporating
- Coop Pros:
**Can have shares, require people to buy shares to be a member and have the right to vote **One person, one vote (regardless of # of shares) - possibly you can only have one share? where a share = membership
- Corporation Pros:
**Power is dependent on how many shares you have **We can still write heterarchy into our bylaws
- Membership:
**If you have a node running you're a member **Two classes of membership [or multiple - say, Member, Associate, Honorary - or Organizational Partner / Worker Maintainer / ] **Application Process
- Need to differentiate between PeoplesOpen & SudoMesh
Decisions
**Corporation or co-op **Profit or non-profit **Name **Declare Public Benefit or Mutual Benefit **Specific purpose of the corporation
- Non-Profit Corporation, ?? Benefit
Discussion
*Jenny: 501cX --> anything other than 3 just makes it more difficult to get grants... *Vian: Changes to the bylaws are easier in a 501c3 that can drastically divert the purpose [can be changed by just the Board of Directors] *Matt: Can still replicate the requirements of a coop with a nonprofit or sole proprietorship *Shake: Wary of the non-profit industrial complex *Luciano: Also wary, but thinks its good to enable people to make money while also including everybody
