Attendance: Casey, Kim, Jim, John
1. Discussion of 501c configurations. Agreement that some timely incorporation is vital for legal and financial protection. 501c8 was an attractive option, but a graphical chart to compare against other 501c's is needed to be sure. Either way, specialized legal advice is neccessary once Fwg has picked an option, we will try to solicit pro bono lawyers, but will hire one If that's what is required; better to do it right than fudge it.
2. Casey will close down wepay account for now, convert to cash to be combined with GA fund. Re: unfair for a single person to shoulder liability.
3. John recieved two items donated to OM for resale, it was agreed that John will keep these items under lock and key until an suitable time for fundraising.
4. Fwg agreed to meet again next week at break cafe 6pm friday 01 20 12.
Minutes compiled John.
