1 Bylaws will be needed sooner than that, as they will need to be included in
2 the 501(c)(6) filing.

19 I'm not opposed, but I would think that phone conferences would be rather
20 pricey since we have folks on both sides of the pond. No?

22 Meanwhile, we really do need to have a meeting of some sort fairly soon.
23 I'm starting to get the impression that to be a legitimate corporation we
24 really need to have a president, a treasurer, and a secretary, none of which
25 we currently have. (Zhen, could you check w/ our lawyers about
26 this?) Even if it's not required, I still think it would be a good idea to
27 have people in those roles. I also think we're going to need bylaws by our
28 one-year anniversary, so we probably need to start thinking about that, too.
29 I've looked at Python's bylaws, and I think they'd make a good start, but
30 has anybody else seen other examples that might be more appropriate?
