9. Board established membership entitlements and dues and established that VOID will sponsor local VOID chapters in various locales around the country.

Family Membership dues of $90.00 would include the same privileges as above for all members of a nuclear family. VOID Lifetime memberships of $250.00 would include the same privileges as above, but with special listing of lifetime memberships and no annual solicitation for membership dues. Patron memberships of $1,000.00 would also provide the Patron with an acknowledgement on the VOID national site and other appropriate public documents. Content of acknowledgement may include recommendations by Patron in creating the acknowledgement subject to Board or Administrator approval. Acknowledgement shall remain on the VOID web site for one national Congressional election cycle, or 2 years from date of donation. VOID Sponsor memberships of $2,000.00 would provide a larger acknowledgement on the VOID national site, and an acknowledgement included on all local chapter sites. Donations of other amounts would also be accepted and recognition would be received. Stephanie Crist suggested an "in-kind" clause for those who choose to donate time over money. Daniel Summars suggested over-sight of the content for acknowledgements for high-end Patron and Sponsor donors to be displayed on the VOID site. David Remer suggested a visible "recognitions for donations" as opposed to sold advertisements. Board voted unanimously on the proposed categories of membership, and the donation amounts attached to those categories of membership. Board voted unanimously on the wording for membership acknowledgements on our VOID sites. Board voted unanimously to table discussion of advertising and/or corporate and political sponsors until our next meeting.

10. Board addressed plans to pursue local VOID chapters through Meetup.Com. David Remer proposed establishing Local Chapter setup fees and maintenance costs be collected from Local Chapters of VOID along with contracts and benefits. The proposed first step to establish local chapters of VOID is to establish a group membership at Meetup.Com, which agrees to meet at least once a month. That will be identified as a local VOID group with the name of their local town or county associated with the VOID name. A minimum of 8 members would be required. They may then petition VOID for a local charter to establish a local chapter of VOID. We will provide them with their own website, a sub-domain off of VOID's main site, a lot of content for that site coming off of our own site, as well as graphics support for yard signs, bumper stickers, magnets, etc., and maintenance of their membership rosters and dues as appropriate. In return, they will require their members to contribute annual Local Chapter VOID membership dues, of which a percentage to be determined (let's say, hypothetically,) 10% will revert back to us for our services plus an annual Charter fee, to be determined to cover setup costs (perhaps $100 which would include the Local Chapter's founder's membership in the National VOID organization). Board agreed unanimously to pursue local chapters using Meetup.Com as a first step qualification for a VOID chapter. Board agreed unanimously to require a minimum of eight members to provide a local VOID chapter, with a minimum requirement to meet monthly. Board agreed unanimously to provide a website and a set standard of amenities to our chapters, the details of which will be determined upon researching the possibilities and their feasibility. Board tabled the issue of the fee structure for local chapters until such a time that the expenses VOID would incur can be determined.

11. David Remer motioned to table the remaining agenda and adjourn the meeting due to the late hour to be continued Thursday, January 5, 2006 at 8PM. Board voted unanimously to adjourn this meeting and reconvene at the appointed time.
