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

Crufty Networks?
by David Farmer July 7, 2017

July 7, 2017

Is Vaultas AS53480 still a live network? I don't see any prefixes associated with the ASN, and haven't seen any traffic across MICE since May 30th, 2017 from the ASN. I think the prefixes that were advertised from this ASN are now advertised by Compudyne AS47096, maybe that's a clue. There web site seems live. Is Monticello Fibernet AS393466 still a live network? I don't see any prefixes associated with the ASN, and haven't seen any traffic across MICE since March 20th, 2017 from the ASN. I don't see the prefixes previously associated with this ASN anywhere on the Internet. Their website seems live, but says "delivered by Arvig" now, maybe that's a clue. :) Is Introvex Solutions AS135886 still a live network? I don't see any prefixes associated with the ASN, and haven't ever seen any traffic across MICE from the ASN. I don't see the prefixes previously associated with this ASN anywhere on the Internet. Cloudflare says their website is offline, maybe that's a clue. Just want to clean things up if they are gone. Thanks. -- =============================================== David Farmer Email:farmer@umn.edu Networking & Telecommunication Services Office of Information Technology University of Minnesota 2218 University Ave SE Phone: 612-626-0815 <(612)%20626-0815> Minneapolis, MN 55414-3029 Cell: 612-812-9952 <(612)%20812-9952> ===============================================

a Madison-based ICANN colleague of mine wonders if he could represent us at ICANN?

hi all, Mark McFadden inquired as to whether he could take on the volunteer "represent MICE at ICANN" role that i used to fill. if that decision were left entirely to me i would say "absolutely" as Mark is one of the folks i held in highest regard while i was a participant at ICANN. i'm putting this request to you in much the same way that i did when i asked whether i could represent us, back in 2012. this would be a volunteer arrangement in which Mark would stand ready to provide briefings and insights as MICE requests - in return for which he would have standing within ICANN to continue his very long involvement in that organization. i did a search on "Mark McFadden ICANN" which turned up all kinds of stuff. i thought this recent letter from Mark did a pretty good job of summarizing his qualifications.
