About the ICG-BOD Mailing List Updated 4/27/03 ICG-BOD is the official mailing list of the International Costumers Guild Board of Directors. It is intended for...
I'll be offline for a few days while attending Archon. So will Bruce Mai, Karen Heim & (probably) Pierre P. I'll probably be able to check my mail Sunday night...
Ditto for me. Heading north tomorrow in early afternoon for my 25th high school reunion (and a family reunion at the same time)! Back again at some ungodly...
I'm here . . . sort of . . . in middle of giant trial prep at work, but ICG newsletter just went out - hurrah!!!! D _____ From: ICG-BOD@yahoogroups.com...
Aside from the usual ongoing committee things (which we'll deal with in summary later), we need to get back on track with the IRS stuff. Below is our first...
Now, how is this going to work for those of us who do not need non-profit status and don't want the control of the officers or finances that The Federal IRS...
Restated slightly differently, do chapters like SiW that do not plan to sign the letter need to do anything at all, or is everything done at the ICG end of...
There are several types of organizations that fin under the 501(c) tax exempt umbrella. ***The Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA) is one example: there is...
Who said that the SiW did not want to sign? As far as I a concerned, it is still up for discussion. Bruce, SiW Treasurer ... Bruce MacDermott, ICG Treasurer...
As information, the ICG website has been updated today. I redid the convention listings and added a button on the main page for Glitziana's Gear. JSM...
Well? Bruce asked a question - which chapters (if any) are interested in being part of this? Do your members want the ICG to be tax-exempt or do they not care?...
OK - I'll start. I think this is a good idea. In the SCA (where I'm a lot surer about how this works) essentially the corporation is it. Everything else is...
... Nora, Thanks for picking up the ball. A minor misstatement: The ICG is already tax-exempt. Up until recently, I was under the impression that there was...

My chapter is interested in this status with the IRS. However, before we commit, we want to know how much control the ICG would have over the local chapter...
Unfortunately, the whole discussion is kind of a chicken/egg thing. We don't want to expend the effort in discussing the details if we don't know that chapters...
DFWCG is definitely interested. Our group discussed the issue at our business meeting over the weekend. Getting non-profit status from the IGC would be a huge...
A quick note to this discussion since I haven't gone through all my emails yet. I agree with Diane and the consensus from the Chicago group is that if having...
We had a discussion at our last meeting and there is a strong feeling voiced by many members against any control over our officers or funds. They look at the...
If I am understanding how this would work correctly - one can ether go for the tax-exempt status and be subject to those rules, or just be an affiliate and...
You might want to rethink that need. Your state not-for-profit status does nothing for Federal exemption. CC-25 will generate significant income, that will...
There seems to be a bit of confusion here. The Group Exemption Letter is not something that we submit to the IRS, the GEL is written by the IRS to the...
Ok, I get it now! If the UGI is acceptable to the IRS, the IRS includes all the chapters that sign onto it the GEL. If I read this correctly, there isn't a...
"Significant?!?" You gotta be kidding! Most of that money will be dispersed back to members somehow, or forwarded to future cons. How do you define a...

Bruce - I don't think that Bruce-T necessarly ment profit only, I know with our local SF Cons the IRS can ask about all the money that is just passing through....

OK, the UGI is something that needs serious study to see both how it affects the chapters and satisfies the IRS. Do we have a UGI that we think will satisfy...
Just because money gets redistributed, does not mean that it is not income! ALL income is taxable by the IRS. Don't get fooled by the "just passing through"...
This is getting a little off track. I understand there is a connection but I feel we need to stay very focused during this discussion as it is far too easy to...
