Notes
Incorporation
Working out the details around receiving donations for being incorporated in Delaware
We have an entity number for tax purposes
Optimistically we’d be ready to start accepting donations, more realistically it’ll be a couple of weeks from now
501c3 status may take 6 months to a year but we can backdate funds received
Entity tied intimately to Eddie (social and address) currently
Shopping list
Google Apps/Suite, Atlassian products, AWS
We want to make projected budget last 6 months to a year
Employ personnel to be held accountable for the work
Process around how we receive/disperse funds
Tooling?
It’s important to delegate financial accounting to a third party to figure our financials out (i.e. Paypal, Venmo, etc)
Accounting software
Once funding comes in, no personal accounts related to PDAP full stop
In-use accounts need to be inventoried and accounted for
Centralized password/account management
Domain name(s)
Finalize domain
Consider other endings
Public facing Splunk
Need to follow up with Splunk reps
Website
Need to make a decision on domain
We can redeploy the website on a pdap specific AWS account
Hype engine
Identify what things we’ll need to have in order to embrace massive flow of volunteers again
Scrapers
Website

Processes for each bucket of folks
Documentation
