Sorry for posting this late.

I've left the cost reduction item from last month on the agenda.  We
wanted to gather more information and visit it again.  Partly I was
going to come up with some better data on phone line usage.  I'll try to
do that before the meeting.  There were other things other people were
going to prepare.

I'll reserve the room at Zings later today.

I've been working on gathering data for the cost-reduction item too.

#3 of 14 by other on Fri Jul 17 17:41:37 1998:

numbers of years (roughly) since significant asteroid impacts on the earth?

#4 of 14 by other on Fri Jul 17 17:41:51 1998:

or ice ages?

#5 of 14 by robh on Fri Jul 17 18:04:59 1998:

Or possible just "events that caused massive extinctions".
If it were major asteroid impacts, I'd be complaining that the list
didn't start with -90 for Tunguska.  >8)

That last guess definately resembles the truth.

Another agenda item:  Grex's 501(c)3 status  (we got it!)

WOW!     We got the 501c3?  No joshing???

Nope.  No joshing.  Got the letter today.  See

Terrific! Thanks for all the work you put into it, Jan.

(Mary stands and applauds.)

#11 of 14 by aruba on Sat Jul 18 22:36:40 1998:

Woohoo!  Thanks, Jan, for all the work you did on the application.  I'm very
happy that the IRS sees things our way.

Now... Is the ruling definitely retroactive to the founding of Grex?

#12 of 14 by aruba on Mon Jul 20 00:52:05 1998:

Jan, would you add a short discussion of "sending out receipts" to the agenda?
We may not be able to say much about it now, but it would be good to go over 
what we know and what we'd like to know.

#13 of 14 by davel on Mon Jul 20 02:05:37 1998:

**WOW**.  I mean, we pretty clearly qualified, but that doesn't mean that the
IRS would agree to this, right off.  Jan (& a bunch of other folks), great
work!

Great!  I hope this works out without unanticipated side-effects.  8-)
