As unpleasant as it might seem to us (me too) who dislike authority, (thus the reason we do not act like 'lords of the manor', lol), TOTJO is a corporation, like any other church or, well, corporation, and seldom do they have elections, and for a reason...

None of us are irreplaceable, and should there be a call for my removal, I would step down... :lol:

As was pointed out, we all run specific departments, and you just don't just replace your officers unless they are derelict in their duty, or they step down... Deriliction of duty is a broad term, and it takes A LOT to have that term met... :whistle: :pinch:

If anyone, and I do mean anyone, has a complaint about any Councillor, please contact a Knight (Councillors are Knights too) and explain your dilemma...

As for submitting ideas, there is now the Council Secretary, (Adder) who makes sure all things are brought to our attention, as well as anyone can submit ideas to any Council Member...

IN the beginning, Councillors were promoted on their level of activity... As Akkarin said, we now have a greater level of activity in all areas...

Ask anyone who has reached the 'leadership' position, of any organization, and there is a lot to be said for NOT being in charge, lol... :)

On walk-about...

I assume that TOTJO is a company so that we can receive donations we don't pay tax on, however I am still confused even now as to how the company and the organisation are supposed to interact. I got the impression some time back that the Council were supposed to be the same people as the Board of Directors, but my understanding now is that is not how it works, and that there may be a director who is not on the council (and not a member?).

Whenever I have this discussion with someone 'higher up', the company gets mentioned, but I sort of fail to see why the two should interact particularly in terms of leadership if the board and the council aren't the same people (apart from John).

If someone could enlighten me I'd be very grateful.

It won't let me have a blank signature ...

I dont understand how you are confused?

TOTJO is a 'corporation', legally registered, (you know that, this is for new readers) in the state of Texas....

A corporation is also an organisation, they need not be exclusive... Is that how?

Are you thinking that there is two governing bodies?

Anything "organized" can be an "organization"....

TOTJO's not-for-profit status allows us to collect donations tax free...

A for-profit corporation (or organization, lol) pays taxes that their lawyers cant get them out of, hahaha...

All Council Members are on the Board of Directors for legal purposes, yes...

Did I answer you?

It would appear that Edan's initial impression was correct then? Are there any non-council members that are on the board?

I doubt it. Edan and Jestor are actually quite good friends (as are most active members here). Jestor was just an honest answer to an honest question me thinks :laugh:

lol, right....

I love me some Edan.... :)

https://mycpa.cpa.state.tx.us/coa/coaSearch.do

I think this is a link to my search resutls for our Board of Directors...

If that fails, try: https://mycpa.cpa.state.tx.us/coa/

and entity name is temple of the jedi order....

And, I was a bit surprised as Damion Storm, a former Council Member is still listed, as is Proteus.... I had forgotten that... lol...

Proteus is our SysAdmin, and with access to Council at the last filing, was included... Damion will be removed at the next filing...

I was confused because I was under the impression that the current Council did not reflect the board of directors.. I was obviously wrong (though apparently partly right ;))
