(08:07:51 PM) samiam010203: hahah
(08:08:02 PM) ausimage: well... rockets have a look... if you have questions... let me know...
(08:08:22 PM) rockets: im reading right now
(08:09:44 PM) rockets: seems pretty simple.
(08:09:50 PM) samiam010203: it is
(08:09:59 PM) samiam010203: its not that complecated at all
(08:10:08 PM) ausimage: samiam010203: I feel the bylaws will have had sufficient review after this meeting... Next step is a general meeting where there are approved... after that we need to fill out the state certification... which we may ask for legal review for...
(08:10:10 PM) rockets: I have one small question. Not important really
(08:10:14 PM) rockets: what does ### mean
(08:10:20 PM) rockets: e.g.
(08:10:21 PM) rockets: These bylaws were ### at a meeting of membership and leadership by a 2/3(two-thirds) majority vote on ###.
(08:10:37 PM) ausimage: ahhh they are place holders....
(08:10:55 PM) rockets: ok
(08:11:02 PM) rockets: That's what I thought
(08:11:12 PM) samiam010203: so who should we have legaly review the laws ausi?
(08:11:43 PM) rockets: My cousin is a contract lawyer for a large firm . . . maybe he could do it? I don't remember the firm but if I said the name you'd recognize it
(08:12:01 PM) samiam010203: cool
(08:12:28 PM) rockets: I'll shoot him an email.
(08:12:29 PM) ausimage: samiam010203: I think once the team approves them we can call the state bar... and request a free consultation
(08:12:37 PM) samiam010203: ok
(08:12:49 PM) rockets: cool.
(08:13:11 PM) ausimage: At least most states bars offer that...
(08:14:14 PM) ausimage: http://www.dos.state.ny.us/corp/nfpcorp.html is the process samiam010203
(08:14:30 PM) samiam010203: thanks ausi
(08:15:36 PM) ausimage: yeah... no problems... that document says you can do it without legal consultation but you know me I like to make sure all I's and T's are correct ;)
(08:15:54 PM) samiam010203: yes
(08:15:56 PM) samiam010203: i know
(08:15:58 PM) samiam010203: hahaha
(08:17:29 PM) ausimage: so cool... I think an email need to go out to set a date for the team to convene and approve the bylaws... I will leave it up to you whether you chose to allow approvals by email if they can't make it...
(08:17:37 PM) ausimage: samiam010203: ^^^
(08:17:50 PM) samiam010203: approval by email would be fine as well ausi
(08:18:46 PM) ausimage: samiam010203: the only draw back would be that we would need nearly 30 approvals if it was by email :/
(08:19:13 PM) rockets: so itll take a few days
(08:19:15 PM) samiam010203: no what i meen is that a meeting is good but if they cant make it they can approve by email in advance
(08:19:18 PM) rockets: no big deal
(08:19:43 PM) ausimage: yeah rockets... it will be awhile...
(08:19:59 PM) samiam010203: we can send out a mailing on the list and tell people the meeting date/time and that if they cant make it to psend there vote to the list
(08:20:32 PM) ausimage: samiam010203: ok just got confused by your wording... yeah that sounds like a plan...
(08:20:39 PM) samiam010203: cool
(08:20:50 PM) samiam010203: so me and you should now set the date for the meeting
(08:21:21 PM) ausimage: yeah probably a regular meeting say the first one in September...
