Default Important message for SSA members

Here are the IRS FAQs regarding public disclosu

http://www.irs.gov/charities/article...=96430,00.html

I would suspect that the fact that the non-profit failed to pay taxes and
file tax returns as required by law would be covered by the spirit, if not
the letter of the public disclosure rules.

Why was the original letter put into the members only section of the SSA
web site? Under IRS rules, being a non-profit, this type of information
needs to be publicly available to everyone.


Why do you believe this? Surely, personnel matters are not a matter of
public record, or does "this type of information" apply to only a portion
of the letter? I know there is quite a range "non-profit" organizations,
ranging from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to the
Auxiliary-powered Sailplane Association (I'm the treasurer), and guessing
our reporting requirements vary quite. Do you really know the specific
rules that apply to the SSA?
