For their first comment, requesting written consent be via email for Board resolutions, as we have previously discussed in phone calls with them, this isn’t consistent with Missouri law. They can discuss actions via email or online chat, but once a consensus is reached Missouri law requires a separate, signed written consent document. The document can be circulated via email for .pdf or other electronic signature, but a series of emails does not satisfy the legal requirements for a written consent. > > I think the bylaws are the only documents we need final approval on before we can file.

As you saw in my reply to Scott, I fully understand the hearing requirement and that IRC will not be recognized as an appropriate official meeting space under MO law. I also point out in that response that section 3:15 is there to allow EOB to take action outside any official meeting, such as through monthly discussion in IRC, and that such action must then be memorialized in a consent action by the board in order for the agreed-upon action to become effective. My only question was regarding the unanimous requirement of the consent action, which was answered thoroughly by, "[t]he written consent for actions taken outside of a meeting must be signed by all directors because all directors must waive the requirement for notice and holding a meeting. If there isn’t unanimous consent, then the action must be presented at and voted on in a meeting." The notice waiver requiring unanimous adoption was not obvious to me as it is not mentioned as a reason for unanimity. Thank you again for gathering the response we needed, it's much appreciated.

It's my understanding that this is still being reconciled with SFC, so the numbers may change a little, but it looks positive at this time.

Quoth she: Those mysterious numbers at the end of the CC expenses tab should not have been there. I just used that space to tally up all of the expenses that belonged in the conference budget as opposed to the ones that were supposedly being accounted for in the general fund or the outreach fund. So if a number appears and there's nothing in that row that has an explanation, know that it was just a carry down from a number further up in the spreadsheet. Hope that makes sense. She also said that she would submit a cleaned up version, but that won't be until after ALA at the earliest.

I think the most difficult questions will be right at the beginning. Here are a few to start with: 1. Have we given any thought to who will be our registered agent (i.e.; the place where we get our mail)? Will it be MOBIUS? I am not sure if the registered agent has to be in Missouri. This is a question for the attorney. See #4 below. 2. Do we have an EIN yet? 3. My assumption is this is the "Organization's Website": https://evergreen-ils.org/ Is this correct? 4. I am compiling a list of questions for the attorney. Is Jennifer Beasley our attorney for this part of the process?
