At 1:27pm on August 27th, Stan Williams sent the following message and proposal to Vital Communities;
Dear Ellen,
Thank you for agreeing to consider an MOU with “UVLists”. Here is a bullet point proposal which incorporates thoughts from all 38 list administrators and vc-lab members. We think it will be a win-win if we can agree to cooperate as this will reduce acrimony towards VC and make our transition easier to administer.
We are in the process of standing up a VT-based non-profit and electing a board and officers so you will be dealing with a legal entity in the near term. We have a fiscal sponsor and numerous offers of monetary and volunteer contributions from individuals and businesses so our business plan is robust.
Thanks,
Stan Williams on behalf of UVLists executive committee
Kurth Bemis
Niko Horster
Dan Leavitt

A copy of the MoU was attached. It has been posted below in it’s full text, and available for download via PDF below.
