AeroAggie84 (8:46:59 PM): ok so that was a nice intro to what I wanted to talk about tonight AeroAggie84 (8:47:45 PM): as many of you know, SEDS has been trying to re-gain its 501c3 status for years now AeroAggie84 (8:48:28 PM): when I came on as financial director, I was given what appeared to be a partially completed process AeroAggie84 (8:48:41 PM): or rather a partially completed application AeroAggie84 (8:49:27 PM): After struggling with it myself for a while I eventually turned to Family Legacy Trust Company to help with getting all this paperwork sorted out AeroAggie84 (8:49:50 PM): the trust company has kindly donated its services to SEDS which is saving us thousands in lawyer fees AeroAggie84 (8:53:32 PM): we can either be approved, partially approved, or denied 501c3 AeroAggie84 (8:54:01 PM): if at this point we are approved we will have to wait an additional 60 days for it to become official since they have 1000 other organizations in backlog AeroAggie84 (8:54:38 PM): If we are not approved, or partially approved, the IRS will give us hints as to where we need to improve our application and we will then need to re-apply AeroAggie84 (8:55:07 PM): considering how long this has taken, Mr. Cohen and I have been in constant contact with the IRS to make sure we get approved on the first submission AeroAggie84 (8:55:42 PM): This has meant that we are crossing every "t" and dotting every "i" extra carefully on this one AeroAggie84 (8:56:18 PM): I have already filled out the application and I am now in the process of adding all of the suplemental documentation that the 1023 application asks for AeroAggie84 (8:56:43 PM): this is no small task and consistency between the documents is highly stressed AeroAggie84 (8:57:18 PM): I have enlisted several of the executive board members to help provide some of the few remaining documents and most have already been sent to me AeroAggie84 (8:57:48 PM): I will then make sure everything is ready to go and next tuesday, when our agent returns from oversees, we will be sending in the application AeroAggie84 (8:58:55 PM): In order to expedite this process, many of the Exec board have decided to vote on the acceptability of these additional documents before submission AeroAggie84 (8:59:51 PM): this way we are hoping to avoid any conflicting statements between the documents AeroAggie84 (9:00:17 PM): after we receive final approval from the IRS, we will then be required to file for state tax exemption here in texas AeroAggie84 (9:00:32 PM): this process is shorter and should take about 30 days at the most AeroAggie84 (9:01:00 PM): as such we are currently looking at apprximately 111 days from next tuesday to be recognized if there are no delays AeroAggie84 (9:01:26 PM): I have decided to stay on in an advisory position until this task is complete since it is what I initially set out to do as financial director AeroAggie84 (9:01:34 PM): i am open to questions now DarrellDCain (9:02:37 PM): alright DarrellDCain (9:02:42 PM): no questions have been submitted DarrellDCain (9:02:45 PM): floor is now closed DarrellDCain (9:02:51 PM): last item on agenda DarrellDCain (9:03:05 PM): is the NASA's ASMO project (Utah SEDS) DarrellDCain (9:03:13 PM): Utah State now has the floor Bull4UW (9:03:17 PM): thanks Bull4UW (9:03:26 PM): ASMO is the American Student Moon Orbiter Bull4UW (9:03:36 PM): its a project NASA is starting up to compete with the ESMO Bull4UW (9:03:41 PM): the European student moon orbiter Bull4UW (9:03:48 PM): right now, they've got an RFI out Bull4UW (9:03:56 PM): and it seems like something SEDS should participate in Bull4UW (9:04:12 PM): the project details can be found at http://asmo.arc.nasa.gov Bull4UW (9:04:25 PM): but of course, nothing is concrete yet Bull4UW (9:04:52 PM): the more response to the RFI, the greater a chance the project will actually go through Bull4UW (9:04:56 PM): Utah State will be responding Bull4UW (9:05:13 PM): but we would like to find some folks in SEDS to help write something from here Bull4UW (9:05:28 PM): the basics of the projects are simple, Bull4UW (9:05:44 PM): there's gonna be a moon orbiter built and designed by students with NASA oversight Bull4UW (9:05:52 PM): they'll also have workshops and mentoring Bull4UW (9:05:59 PM): its a good thing.... IF it ever gets going Bull4UW (9:06:07 PM): it was announced over a year ago, and they're just now getting to it Bull4UW (9:06:09 PM): so Bull4UW (9:06:19 PM): any questions, or any volunteers to help out?

Bull4UW (9:07:22 PM): not as of yet ERFSEDS (9:07:23 PM): It sounds like a really interesting topic we're pretty bogged down with projects already so will mention it to our pres. bsntmath (9:07:31 PM): Mars Gravity and a project class called 16.83 Bull4UW (9:07:57 PM): at this point, the RFI is all thats out there VonBraunGuy (9:07:58 PM): sounds interesting VonBraunGuy (9:08:04 PM): what are you thinking about putting in the RFI? Bull4UW (9:08:05 PM): and they're looking for feedback from everyone, including student groups PnAeRmAo (9:08:06 PM): This sounds interesting, and we're looking for something to get involved with here at FIT> Bull4UW (9:08:11 PM): they have a template Bull4UW (9:08:18 PM): BUT...its due sept 30th Bull4UW (9:08:36 PM): so we need a team to get together now to help write a draft, present it and discuss it at the next sEDS meeting Bull4UW (9:08:39 PM): and then submit it rmmlg08 (9:08:55 PM): it's just an rfi though, so definitely doable in that timeframe Bull4UW (9:08:57 PM): the overall project would be multi-institutional Bull4UW (9:09:01 PM): yeah, exactly DarrellDCain (9:09:05 PM): so you're proposing that part of SEDS CoC put together an RFI VonBraunGuy (9:09:08 PM): so this would be something SEDS would submit collectively? Bull4UW (9:09:11 PM): yeah Bull4UW (9:09:13 PM): yeah DarrellDCain (9:09:16 PM): and then submit it to NASA as the official "SEDS RFI" Bull4UW (9:09:20 PM): yeah VonBraunGuy (9:09:24 PM): ok DarrellDCain (9:09:29 PM): that would fall under a CoC committee Bull4UW (9:09:38 PM): k, then i'd like to request a committee DarrellDCain (9:09:44 PM): basically three or four CoC members would volunteer to put together the document DarrellDCain (9:09:49 PM): taking feedback from different chapters DarrellDCain (9:09:55 PM): and then present it at CoC Bull4UW (9:10:08 PM): so, are there 3 or 4 volunteers? bsntmath (9:10:12 PM): is there a conflict with individual RFIs from Chapter colleges Bull4UW (9:10:16 PM): nope DarrellDCain (9:10:19 PM): a motion to create a CoC committee has been put forth VonBraunGuy (9:10:31 PM): i second the motion Bull4UW (9:10:31 PM): since its just an RFI, there're aren't many legal issues DarrellDCain (9:10:36 PM): we need three to four volunteers to vote on this bsntmath (9:10:37 PM): k DarrellDCain (9:10:38 PM): sorry DarrellDCain (9:10:41 PM): we need three or four volunteers DarrellDCain (9:10:45 PM): before it will be put to vote DarrellDCain (9:10:59 PM): if three or four do not volunteer then the motion will fail Bull4UW (9:11:02 PM): utah state will volunteer of course pcanderson85 (9:11:14 PM): Yeah. We're in. (Utah State) bsntmath (9:11:34 PM): MIT is in kyle23571113 (9:11:44 PM): To me, it makes sense for each individual chapter interested to submit their own RFI Bull4UW (9:12:11 PM): our plan is to submit one from our individual student group, and to help submit oen from SEDS national DarrellDCain (9:12:22 PM): until three or four volunteers have stepped forward the issue is open to debate rmmlg08 (9:12:44 PM): in fact, it would likely be beneficial for those submiting the seds rfi to be involved with another PnAeRmAo (9:12:52 PM): Well, before we volunteer could ew have time to talk with our groups and see if they're really interested in doing it? (I think so, but not positive) rmmlg08 (9:12:58 PM): becuase it would help throw together the diversity of ideas that will be submitted Bull4UW (9:13:01 PM): there is the threat that if not enough responses are recieved, the project wont go through Bull4UW (9:13:03 PM): exactly Bull4UW (9:13:20 PM): sure, but the deadline is approaching Bull4UW (9:13:30 PM): and the template is very short (1-2 pages) VonBraunGuy (9:13:49 PM): i volunteer to be on the committe DarrellDCain (9:13:52 PM): we can have a tentative volunteer based on discussion with their group DarrellDCain (9:14:00 PM): but I need three solid volunteers before we vote Bull4UW (9:14:06 PM): and yes, it would be absolutely beneficial to those planning on doing individual ones to work together DarrellDCain (9:14:06 PM): alright...we have three volunteers DarrellDCain (9:14:19 PM): any final volunteers or concerns before we vote? DarrellDCain (9:14:49 PM): then vote is put before CoC DarrellDCain (9:15:01 PM): please vote chapter name - aye/nay/abstain DarrellDCain (9:15:05 PM): starting now bsntmath (9:15:06 PM): MIT - aye luckyguy518 (9:15:13 PM): UBSEDS - Aye coraliejackman (9:15:15 PM): UIUC-aye AngelofMusic246 (9:15:16 PM): UCF-aye pcanderson85 (9:15:17 PM): USU- aye VonBraunGuy (9:15:18 PM): Texas A&M - aye bld175AE (9:15:18 PM): CUSEDS - aye kyle23571113 (9:15:18 PM): Arizona-aye cornobbled64 (9:15:30 PM): Olin College - aye unsttoppable (9:15:31 PM): tjhsst-aye ERFSEDS (9:15:37 PM): ERAU - aye MooNLighTStaR422 (9:15:39 PM): caltech-aye PnAeRmAo (9:15:53 PM): Fit0aye DarrellDCain (9:16:16 PM): vote passes, Utah State, MIT and Texas A&M have one month to put together an RFI for vote before the CoC Bull4UW (9:16:23 PM): sounds great Bull4UW (9:16:33 PM): if yall will just email me at j.c.boulware@aggiemail.usu.edu DarrellDCain (9:16:46 PM): thsoe three chapters please stay after the meeting Bull4UW (9:16:50 PM): just to get your contact info, and we'll begin soon DarrellDCain (9:17:01 PM): and if everyone could stay for just a minute after we adjourn I'd like to say a few things DarrellDCain (9:17:06 PM): that was the last item on the agenda DarrellDCain (9:17:13 PM): meeting is now adjourned
