<p>I'm currently treasurer of an association, that is incorporated
in ACT and have held that office as well as others in another.</p>
<p>It's a little less onerous than it used to be:</p>
<p> now no annual fee</p>
<p> associations having low turnover no longer have an audit, but
require a lesser review of accounts. The reviewer does not need
accounting qualifications</p>
<p> a Constitution is no longer mandatory<br>
</p>
<p>A Committee (of at least 4, AFAIK) plus an AGM are required.</p>
<p>OTOH, if the hassle can be avoided ...</p>

For those that don't know, AuDA has changed the rules for eligibility
to register an org.au domain. You now (from April 12) need to be an
incorporated non-profit or registered with the Charity's commission (or
a few other possibilities) non of which we fulfil currently.
I have had a look at a few possibilities one of which is to have Linux
Australia as the registrant of clug.org.au and auug.org.au, but for
them to leave control of the domains with "us" (mostly me at the moment
:-)).
Alternatively, I could look at making the Canberra Linux Users Group
some sort of incorporated entity (which, I am told, is not too bad) and
retain the domains under that ownership..
Comments?
