Report on Exemption Status

Upon application previously submitted to the California Franchise Tax Board, the World Association for Online Education was determined to be exempt from payment of state corporate franchise taxes as a Charitable/Educational organization under Section 23701(d) of the California Revenue and Taxation Code per Franchise Tax Board determination letter dated November 17,1998.
Upon application submitted to the Internal Revenue Service, the World Association for Online Education is requesting exemption from payment of federal corporate income taxes as a Charitable organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Internal Revenue Service determination of exemption and the World Association for Online Educations classification as a public charity is pending.
 
I move that the Chair direct the Executive secretary to include this report on WAOE's exemption status above and a true copy of the state tax-exemption determination letter with the minutes of this meeting.
Is there a second?

Thank you, Jenna, for your very clear report on taxation exemptions, and for all your work on the incorporation of WAOE.
I support the motion.
I note that there has been no discussion, which I take to be an indication of unanimous support for the action proposed. Therefore, in line with Brian's suggestions on procedure to close the discussion of items (sent to the waoe-ring-l listserve), I would like to suggest that each Director also post a message supporting the motion, so that the Chairperson will be able formally to declare a decision.
