Consent Agenda

Newly proposed agenda items appear in the consent agenda. Any member present at the meeting may pull an item out of the consent agenda for discussion, at which point it goes under "New Business". If nobody objects to the solutions presented by the consent agenda, everything in the consent agenda passes by consensus. Items that have more than one proposed solution should be moved to the "New Business" section.

Any member may edit this wiki page and place an item on the consent agenda. However, discussion of agenda items should be done via the forums. The cut-off time for addition to or revision of the the agenda's items is 48 hours prior to the meeting.

Authorization To File Form 428 (Rejection of Appointment)

Problem: The Dallas Makerspace was designated as a registered agent without our consent. The Board of Directors has made it clear that we do not want to be the registered agent for any other organizations. Affiliated non-profits are allowed to use our location as their business address only, and only if an agreement is approved by the Board of Directors beforehand.

Solution: Authorize Andrew LeCody (President) to file and sign Form 428 (Rejection of Appointment). Formally declaring to the State of Texas that we reject our appointment as registered agent for "Freedom To Fabricate The Future".

Relevance to our tax exempt purpose: Being a registered agent incurs some legal liability, with regards to service of process and other legal notices. Rejection of appointment helps to protect our organization from involvement in outside legal matters.
