Git? lol. That's the first time I've heard an American use that word.
In case you're reading this, Rane, I used the word "heard" METAPHORICALLY,
ok?

Re #33: Mary was mistaken about your library card. See ~aruba/idpolicy for
the policy Grex adheres to in accepting IDs.

There is still the fact that Michigan State law requires that we keep and list
of member names and addresses.

So you ask them for such; does Michigan State law require you to verify same?
regarding #33; Okay. But an officer of the corporate told me othewise while
she was an officer of the corporation. May I suggest, then, that future
officers are briefed on such things?

Hmmm, I don't remember telling you such a card as you described would meet
our policy requirements. Is it possible we were talking about library
cards of a few years ago that tended to have a names and account numbers
on them?

re 39: Glenda, can you cite the statute that requires Grex to keep and
list member names and addresses?

Nathan - it's been quoted in a number of other coop items in the past, but
I don't remember the number. It's part of a general law regulating
nonprofits in Michigan.

Okay, I thought someone might have it handy, but here it is:
MCL 450.2413: "The officer or agent having charge of the shareholder or
membership records of a corporation shall make and certify a complete
list of the shareholders or members entitled to vote at a shareholders'
or members' meeting or any adjournment thereof. The list shall:
(a) Be arranged alphabetically within each class with the address of
each member or shareholder and the number of shares held by each
shareholder."
http://www.legislature.mi.gov/mileg.asp?page=getObject&objName=mcl-450-2413
I'm assuming Mark is said "officer or agent having charge of the
[...]membership records", and that certifying the list means making sure
it is accurate. If he requires ID to do so, then so be it.

By the way, what happens if this proposal passes and it is in violation
of Michigan law? Is there a provision in the bylaws that cover such a
situation?

Just to clarify:
Anyone can make a donation to Grex. Cash in a plain envelope, sent to the
treasurer, with a note saying it is a donation, would be placed in our bank
account.
The ID requirement is for membership.

re #44
Does Grex have a NOPP for members and would-be members so that they know their
personal data (name and address) is available to inspection by any member or
member's proxy at the meetings under 450.2413(c) and 450.2413(d)2?
I'm fairly certain most members are unaware that their personal home address
info is fair game for the rest of the membership.

re resp:33: I think it's reasonable to take into account when someone
has been a harrasser of the staff and the general usership of Grex. I
think resp:31 reflects the assumption, reasonably based on past
behavior, that certain users including the author of resp:0 are
untrustworthy.
Scholar is one of 4 or 5 users on Grex whom I filter. Unfortunately he
is a member now and can further harrass us all with "user initiatives".
I will be predisposed to vote "no" on anything scholar recommends or
asks for.

I don't find "user initiatives" as harrassment. These suggestions are lacking
cynical tones and while they may be "old hat" to some, they show a genuine
interest and should be given some attention.

re 46 Cash in a plain envelope sent by mail is illegal, just to clarify.
re 48 Please take your accusations of harassment out of this conference. We
are trying to have a serious discussion here.

It's certainly been used a number of times to send money to Grex. But I
can't recommend it, because there's absolutely no recourse if the cash is
lost in the mail.

Regarding #41; Actually, you didn't. All you said was, "Cool about your
library card" (Coop12, Item #123). Mark later said he probably wouldn't
accept it. My bad.
