MICE Tax-Exempt Application Status
by Richard Laager July 7, 2017

July 7, 2017

The IRS has notified MICE of its intention to _deny_ our Application for Recognition of Exemption. Recall that we filed under Section 501(c)(6), the classification which includes "business leagues, chambers of commerce, etc.". The IRS has suggested an alternative classification of 501(c)(12), which we understand is very likely to be approved. This is the classification which includes "mutual or cooperative telephone companies, or like organizations". The board encourages all interested members to attend the UG 24 meeting, July 12, 3:00 pm, at SDN Communications in Sioux Falls, SD. -- Richard ######################################################################## To unsubscribe from the MICE-ANNOUNCE list, click the following link: &*TICKET_URL(MICE-ANNOUNCE,SIGNOFF);

I feel confident in the switch, and am ready for a larger round 2 of moving members. I am planning on doing the round 2 moves on Tuesday April 11 in the afternoon. I would request that all members being moved shutdown BGP prior to 12:00 PM CST, however please leave the interface up so we can make sure link returns, and we can ping the interface IP. In addition to moving members, I plan on moving both copper Juniper 4200 switches, as well as the looking glass, and Route Server #1. The following members will be moved: > > -All 1G connections to the main switch (both copper, and fiber) > ipHouse > Implex > OneNeck > Supranet > Nextera > North Star Fiber > Atomic Data > Advanced Integrated Tech > IVDesk > OneNetUSA > Verus Corporation > 5 Nines > CDW/Berbee > Velocity Telephone > Paragon > -Arvig (will simultaneously upgrade to a 2x10G LAG) > -Akamai > -Amazon > > Once the moves are complete, I will email the list to let everyone know. ######################################################################## To unsubscribe from the MICE-ANNOUNCE list, click the following link: &*TICKET_URL(MICE-ANNOUNCE,SIGNOFF);
