Use the money to seed a conference like Blaine to follow up with and reconnect O-Net people, perhaps seeding future collaborations. That sounds like an appropriate use. </div> <div> </div> <div>2. Failing that, the money should either be returned to Omidyar, or donated with their consent to an organization that none of us has a stake or interest in.

It was not given with any attachments or<br>stipulations as to how we used the funds.<br><br>EFN has a consensus policy and a communication policy. 100%<br> consensus. Or, 3 voices of consensus approving a communication that<br>is not negated by anyone else on the board. All links and<br>communications that are moving forward as EFN must be posted and<br>shared in this thread.<br> <br>As of last year the trustees were: Gerry, Ted, Julie, Laure, Michael,<br>and David<br><br>None were able to reach consensus on how to use the funds. The name<br>EFN which was a dba of YHY was released by YHY.<br><br> Funds are being held by the non=profit Youth Helping Youth, Inc.<br><br>EFN does not have a non-profit or business status of any kind. It is<br>a merely labeled name designated on a group of 6 people who currently<br>live in the US on planet earth.<br> <br>I appreciate Micheal and David's comments.
