It is correct that the Board elects itself. If the corporation doesn’t have “members”, which Evergreen did not want, then the board elects itself as a nonprofit has no shareholders. It does seem unusual, but the self-perpetuating board is how many nonprofits
function. MOBIUS is different as it has members.<u></u><u></u></span></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="color:#1f497d;margin-bottom:12.0pt">

<br>
This is what we discussed in our conference call. For the one, official meeting that the board has each year, everyone has to be “present” and able to hear each other at the same time. This is a statutory requirement in Missouri (and most states). This meeting
could be accomplished at the annual convention with anyone unable to attend in person calling in. For that official meeting, it cannot be done via chat room. Other, unofficial meetings can be held via the chat room. However, any “votes” should be memorialized
in a separate, written resolution signed by the board of directors.<u></u><u></u></span></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="color:#1f497d">

Do the board members have to be 1 year? We currently have 3 year staggered terms.<br>
<br>
<span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1f497d">Yes, we can do staggered 3 year terms. Let me know what the current terms are for each director and I can make the change.</span><u></u><u></u></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">
Section 3.3 - is it essentially saying that the Board will elect the Board members? We found the language a little confusing.<br>
<br>
<span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1f497d">It is correct that the Board elects itself. If the corporation doesn’t have “members”, which Evergreen did not want, then the board elects itself as a nonprofit has no shareholders.
It does seem unusual, but the self-perpetuating board is how many nonprofits function. MOBIUS is different as it has members.</span><u></u><u></u></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">
Section 3.3 has "Directors participating maysimu ltaneously hear each other during the meeting." Does this mean it has to be auditory (eg. Phone, Web Conferencing, or in person) or can we use IRC? Would all votes be invalid in IRC?<br>
<br>
<span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1f497d">This is what we discussed in our conference call. For the one, official meeting that the board has each year, everyone has to be “present” and able to hear each other at the same
time. This is a statutory requirement in Missouri (and most states). This meeting could be accomplished at the annual convention with anyone unable to attend in person calling in. For that official meeting, it cannot be done via chat room. Other, unofficial
meetings can be held via the chat room. However, any “votes” should be memorialized in a separate, written resolution signed by the board of directors.</span><u></u><u></u></li><li class="MsoNormal">
