<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"> Thank you for your comments. One thing that the MOBIUS attorneys made very clear: the IRS tends to look askance at open source software projects and suggested emphasizing that our membership is largely comprised
of non-profits. I did change this sentence in the narrative:<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Members of the Evergreen Community contribute code and documentation, provide training to other libraries, conduct outreach efforts focusing on the larger library community, and organize an annual conference.<span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Here are some thoughts:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">The part IV narrative implies that the only non-profit organizations are part of the community, just dropping the non-profit part would be more accurate, and possibly also mentioning developers (working with
Evergreen doesn't *<b>have</b>* to be your job for you to be a part of the community, though it doesn't hurt). Also, I don't have strong feelings about adding it but would some mention of outreach and education with regards to the annual conference be useful
here?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">For part V, it would be a good idea to repeat the table headers to prevent any potential confusion about what they're looking at.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
