$1,024.00 Infrastructure Fund
The money is distributed like this:
$820.26 Checking account
$4,346.56 Savings account earning approximately 0.86% interest annually
We had no new members in December. We are currently at 81 members, 78 of
whom are paid through at least January 15th. (The others expired recently
and are in a grace period.)
Notes:
- Ameritech did finally drop one phone line as requested, which is why our
phone bill is lower than last month. It should be about $157.28 next
month. (We're now at 6 dialin lines + 1 staff line, the minimum required
by our Centrex contract.)
- I last sent corporate forms to Lansing in January of 2001, at which time
I told them to change our mailing address and the address of our
registered agent (me). Somehow they didn't get that info into their
system, so they sent our 2001 Corporation Information Update form to my
old address, whereupon it was lost. Sigh. I straightened it out and sent
in the 2001 and 2002 forms, each of which costs $10, and a Certificate for
Renewal of Assumed Name for "Grex", which lasts 5 years and costs $10 as
well.
- We renewed cyberspace.org for one year with VeriSign. Hopefully we'll
get it together to switch grex.org to a different registrar, and if that
goes OK, switch cyberspace.org over next year.
- We're on our last packet of checks, so I ordered some new ones from
checkgallery.com. They'll have flowers on them.
Thanks to everyone who contributed in December:
ah3133, bruin, dpc, falcon76, gull, jep, jpistrit, other, saw, and wlevak.
Thanks everyone!
If you or your institution would like to become a member of Grex, it only
costs $6/month or $60/year. Send money to:
Cyberspace Communications
P. O. Box 4432
Ann Arbor, MI 48106-4432
If you pay by cash or money order, please include a photocopy of some form of
ID. I can't add you to the rolls without ID. (If you pay with a personal
check that has your name pre-printed on it, we consider that a good enough
ID.) Type !support or see http://www.cyberspace.org/member.html for more
info.

I found an envelope from our insurance company in the mailbox today,
which of course filled me with dread. Not to fear, though, it just said
that we are already covered for acts of terrorism. So we've got that
going for us.

My insurance company excludes acts of war. They also note, in the fine
print, that detonation of a nuclear device, whether intentional or
accidental, is automatically considered an act of war.
