BYLAWS

[Kaine Chandler]

They are long, tedious and full of legalese. They are also official and can only be changed through the amendment process contained within them.

Here are two links, one for the full legal version of the bylaws

and one for an unofficial translation to help you understand what the legalese means.

The first time I went through a bylaws process, I spent 3 hours with a lawyer making him translate them for me.

If you have any questions about the bylaws, please reference the article number when you ask so I know what you are referring to.

The reason the bylaws are so legalesey is because they have to be for us to get the 501c7 status and not have to pay taxes (see the post about taxes). We aren't trying to trick anyone, so if the explanations aren't explainy enough then please for clarification.

thanks,
Kaine

please note that the calendar year ending being listed as sept 31 is a typo, it is sept 30.

Also, Since Sarah R and Mark B have stepped down from NOTR, the current legal address is Kaine's house, and Tai K and Nate M are the other two board members since the election in March 2012.
