[Chicago] Chipy Thursday Elections

[Peter Fein]

Brian-

I'm not just trolling, and I resent the accusation that my concerns
about a community in which I've participated in online & off for a
decade are somehow unjustified. If you're disturbed by the questions
being asked, perhaps greater transparency would have been the way to
avoid them. Here's the questions I'm still waiting for an answer on;
after patient consideration, I'm sure you'll find there's nothing
unusual or objectionable about them.

1. who's on the board of directors?
2. what do the bylaws say?
3. who is the legal owner of the bank account?

In your original post about the nonprofit[0], you offered to share the
bank statements on request; I'd like to take you up on that.

As for discussion with PSF, it strikes me as odd that it's taken over
a year of "active talks" to sort this out, especially when the PSF is
already providing similar service to other user groups. And given that
the filing fee is $25, I can think of no good reason to allow the non
profit registration to lapse.
