1. I finally got through to the accountants at Myer & Myer on Friday. The short of it is unfortunately they now prefer not to provide registered agent services to non-accounting clients. It would have been nice if they had said that before we originally signed on with them two years ago. Basically Mr. Myer said that he'll continue to serve as registered agent until we are able to find a replacement.
So at this point I think we should go with a service that specializes in providing registered agent services. We were paying $100/year for Myer & Myer, which is lower than I could find anywhere. I have however found a few professional services that will do registered agent services in PA for $125/year and up. One that looks good is Registered Agent Solutions, Inc., website at http://www.rasi.com/ A big advantage with them is that with them we can sign up online, pay with credit card, and update addresses online too, as opposed to Myer & Myer which has no website and takes checks. Since they specialize in registered agent services, they should be less flaky. I have already refunded the $ that Adam paypaled me for Myer & Myer. RASi is only $125/year, which is still at the low end. A complete list of authorized registered agents for PA is at http://www.dos.state.pa.us/corps/cwp/view.asp?a=1093&q=431308 if anyone wants to research other alternatives. Note that we will also have to update our registered agent with the PA Department of State. I will check on the filing fee for that, I believe it is $70. It may be possible that RASi would file and pay it for us, I'll check on that. 2. I just requested reverse DNS assignments for the Peer1 machines, should be processed today. Sorry for the delay. I had thought we were going to delegate the range and do it reverse-DNS ourselves, but I guess having Peer1 do it simplifies it for us. 3. The next board election will begin on April 4, so if anyone wants to run or make nominations, do so on the wiki at http://wiki.hcoop.net/wiki/Election2007 You have until March 31. This should be announced on hcoop-announce also. While I'm mentioning it, I think that sometime over the next year we should reexamine our bylaws and consider increasing the board to 5 seats for the 2008 election, and perhaps increasing the term for some or all of the seats to two years. However that is a discussion that should probably not happen for another couple months. Also we might want to try out doing it differently, such as rather than. 4. I am going in for jury duty today, and will address some other emails shortly unless I end up sequestered on some trial. I'm happy to see the new Adam come in as an admin. 5. There have been some developments in my job search that I can't really speak about now, but I expect to be working within a week or two. -ntk _______________________________________________ HCoop-Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://hcoop.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hcoop-discuss
