MHVLUG isn't a legal entity yet. So I would propose that we elect officers first, and that one of their main jobs from now till the end of the year is the process of actually incorporating. This process requires bylaws for the corporation. It seems like we have a chicken and an egg problem here. I think officers first, and incorportation (and hence formal bylaws) second, makes more sense to me, as articles of incorporation need to include "board members". Mike, correct me if I'm wrong. I've also tended to model MHVLUG after NYLUG, which is a very successful LUG in NYC. All they have is the following: http://www.nylug.org/aboutus/index.shtml, so I'm not sure that we need anything more than that until/unless we incorporate.
