I believe there are certain aspects of state law that have
to do with members of not-for-profit corporations, and I'm
sure rcurl will be with us shortly to tell us what they are.  >8)

   It could be done quite easily.  Just add them to the 'member' group,
but not voters or internet.

me too... And I remember my grandfather saying: "People in Hell want
Icewater".

I don't see verified use as a problem: never have, never will.

I *DO* see unverified users scurrying thru the Internet (and other) as a
potential problem - for the same reason that cops are going to going to
use if you allow a guest in your home to murder another guest or your
neighbor (particularly if something you own is the weapon).

So why is selena more deserving than zbao, poncho, ulissi, surachai, kub, or
pramodp?

TS, the "grief" in this case is complaints from selena & you.  I'm not sure
that's "more grief than it's worth"; I'd value the hassle caused by problems
a lot more heavily than you do.  *I* don't have to deal with them, but neither
do you, which may be related to your view that they're no big deal.

(and, inthe case of selena, it isn't as though there's anyone around who, say,
half the baffers have met in person who's willing to vouch for her, which
isn't the case of most of your Net terrorists:  selena has yet to be shown
to be anything or anyone other than who she claims to be.  If she was really
out to garotte the world using a n anonymous BBS, whould she (a) hang out for
nearly two years trying to convince admin of her good intentions or (b) give
up after four months and go maraud elsewhere?  I know this question is hard,
folks, so I'll give you some extra time to think about it...)

Re: 185

Selena has yet to be shown as anything or anyone, due to her rather strong
desire for privacy.  Selena could be *anything*, for all we know.

        Well, scott, that's because you've never called my voicemail, or 
bumped into me at the Ren Fair. Brighn has.

I expect the joint meeting will be some Sunday in September.  I'll be
out of town from 9/1 until 9/9.  The Arbornet Board meets on 9/11.
Probably we will finalize a suggested time/date/place then.

Members of non-profit corporations: State law gives non-profits total
freedom in having any number of classes of membership, qualifications for
membership, and whatever rights and privileges they wish, including the
right to vote.  Members *entitled to vote* must be notified of matters
upon which their vote is allowed, of meetings at which they can vote, and
only voting members count toward a quorum for a vote (if a quorum is
required). The organization must keep a record of its members in all
categories. The specifications of classes of membership and their
privileges and duties are provided for in the Articles or Bylaws.

You can certainly vote. Whether your vote is counted in determining the
decision at hand is another question. Vote early! Vote often! But always vote,
it gives the poll watchers justification for being there. Perhaps votes,
unrecogized today will return someday to make a difference. Like comets or
unknown asteroids.

The 8th and 15th are already taken for me. I have the 22nd available in 
the morning only, and the 29th is available on my calendar all day.
