			#* {{Agenda presenter\|Bryan}} As a quick status update, mwstake is incorporated but haven't completed the non-profit filing with the IRS, the paperwork is done, but needs to be submitted to the IRS. Our lawyer has left the firm we were working with, Mark will follow-up to find out the next steps. We do have an a bank account and we can turn on "merchant services" at any time which would allow us to collect money from anywhere in the world. We are hoping to give access to both Mark and Evita (Treasurer) before we set-up merchant services because it'll be harder to do after.
