- Sean (Shn Brdy shnbrdy@) has volunteered to help with this, he says: "As far as grants and tax exemption. I know of two quality organizations that would Fiscal Sponsor until Hive is approved by IRS. Grants can move ahead as there are sources that don't require."

As the daughter of a inventor and skilled craftsman, Tammy intends on using her vast experience in non-profits and business litigation to befit Hive76's board in any way she can.
Maybe he should be invited to present?
2) Voting Policy
- The group is not turning out to be a consistent showing for
every-other-Wednesday meetings. We should talk over and recommend a
better way to handle voting,  since at this point the slow voting (and
missing votes) is slowing down the organisation.   We may want to go
digital, move more discretion decision power into the Officers, or do
something even smarter.
---2a) Elections -- when are next elections?
3) Grants
Can we start to look at grants?
4) Officer Consistency
When is our next officer election?  Our officership has been A-OK, but
a bit erratic (myself included).  Sometimes very active, sometimes a
bit slow to respond. We should talk over what we can do to make it
more consistent and even keeled.
---4a) Burnout issues, are we burning through officers? Taxing people too hard?
5) Added by Jordan:
update this wiki page! it is empty and just wrong mostly...
6) Brendan's suggestion: new member Party!! Let's meet each other and hang out.
7) member Survey to see how officers and BOD are doing. Let us know!!
