• barbieinablender.org & .com expire July 5
• Which of these do we want to renew?

Fiscal agent

Nelson learned something from PK that's different from how we thought the fiscal agent thing would work. We ought to talk about this and decide on our approach to fundraising for the next months.

Paypal

Quick decision: once we have a bank account, should we open a Paypal account as well?

Org structure, etc.

We have to answer some basic questions to provide a framework for future discussion. I think we should try to answer the following questions either on this call, or within 2 days.

• Are campus groups part of FreeCulture.org, Inc. or independent entities?
• Are there "grown-ups" on the board of directors?
• Are there alumni on the board? If so, are they "phased off" the board, or should there be seats for alumni who graduated long ago?
• Do we keep a Core Team? If so, how is its role affected by the existance of a board of directors?
• Do we have an advisory board?
