The new Grex server is inching closer to coming into service. I've
written up a summary of what changes to expect at

You'll have to pass a DHS background check and show up to at least one Grex
feeding frenzy..er Grexwalk.

Re resp:8: Thanks for posting this. It's really reassuring to know that
progress is being made.
Re resp:11: That's a seperate issue. Since it's a bylaw issue, the way
to get it changed is to make a proposal in coop and convince people to
vote for it.

The feeding frenzy is the Grex Lunch, not the walk. :P

A change in the bylaws to not require ID would be a violation of state
law. The corporation *must* be able to produce a membership list,when
required by law, showing legal names and addresses (it does not have to
make it public, however).

I have posted the relevant sections of the Michigan Consolidated Laws.
(Any single, or married, lawyers here, to repeat this to mfp?)

re #15: I read the section of the Michigan code that you posted
and must have missed the part that unambiguously supports your
position..

My wife doesn't think I'm single - singular, perhaps.
What's ambiguous about "shall make and certify a complete list of the
shareholders or members entitled to vote"? How can you do that without
ID? But, consider also 450.2485:
"The corporation shall keep at its registered office....records containing
the names and addresses of all shareholders or members.......A corporation
shall convert into written form without charge any record...upon written
request of a person entitled to inspect them."
This sort of requirement is scattered throughout the MCL. It is remiss of
directors of a non-profit to not be familiar with the body of non-profit
law anyway, in order to avoid mistakes in creating bylaws and acts.

The ambiguous part is what level of diligence is required on the part of
the corporation to ensure that the information is correct. It says nothing
about ID.
> How can you do that without ID?
I still don't see anything in the law that requires ID.

I'm moving to the idea of ID verifing all (new) accounts.

re #15
"required by law, showing legal names and addresses"
You forgot to add some other stuff not mentioned like social security numbers,
favorite color, favorite soft drink, and number of toes on the left foot. ;)
The laws for non-profits plainly state you just need a list of members.
PERIOD. The requirement for ID is a fabrication by Cyberspace, Inc.
