OTW Committees 2007 - 2008

[ciderpress.livejournal.com]

This is the listing of the board and all current committee members for 2007-2008.

We will be revising this list as our organisation grows and people join (or leave!) us.

All members of the board are associated with fandom, but due to legal requirements, they are listed by their public identities; for privacy issues, their fannish identities will not be overtly connected to their legal names. You can read their bios on the website here:

I see the non-profit status notice at the bottom. So that has been confirmed, then.

[ciderpress.livejournal.com]

Hi, OTW was incorporated as non-profit organisation in the summer and is currently seeking 501©3 status. It's anticipated that we'll get that status next year and all donations will then be tax-exempt.

[entropy-house.livejournal.com]

Oh, thanks for clarifying that, I hadn't realized the difference.

It's anticipated that we'll get that status next year and all donations will then be tax-exempt.

That is tax-exempt in the US, right? As far as I know it won't make a difference in my country as long as the organization isn't incorporated here or somewhere in the EU (I think we are still waiting for the court decision). Could you find out? If it doesn't make a difference anyway, there is no reason to wait with donations. :)

[ciderpress.livejournal.com]

Hi!

Yes, the 501©3 status is only applicable in the US. And our understanding of international law is the same, the org needs to incorporate in each EU country to be able to give tax exemption status, a project that we just don't have the resources to handle. (Ideally, we hope that someone will work with us and incorporate OTW France and OTW Japan in the future.)

Thank you so much for your interest and your kindness re: donations! :)

(And hey, would you mind if I e-mailed you to ask you some questions about fandom in mainland Europe? Either way, thank you!)

[frogspace.livejournal.com]

Thank you for the quick reply. :)

That's what I thought but it's good to have it confirmed.

And hey, would you mind if I e-mailed you to ask you some questions about fandom in mainland Europe?

Sure, go ahead. *g* You can reach me at frogspace at gmx dot net.

Great group of people!

psst -- you have some bad coding at the end, in Logovo & Morganlefae's tags. :)

LJ isn't letting me log in, but my name, Elizabeth Yalkut, is misspelled under DevMem.

[ciderpress.livejournal.com]

Hi Elizabeth, I probably sound like a right ninny but I can't see the misspelling. Is it not Elizabeth Yalkut?

[(Anonymous)]

::stares:: I -- okay, clearly I have gone insane. I could have *sworn*, this afternoon, that Yalkut was misspelled as "Yakult".

...I'm just gonna go read fic now until the world makes sense again, okay?
