Matters of Governance
Talossa Aid will be governed by an Executive of 3(?) and will be answerable to a general membership and accountable to the Citizens of Talossa.
All proceeds received will go to charitable aid purposes. The expectedly very small costs of administration would be met by members of the board personally. Unless a specific public request for donation of funds for administrative or other non charitable expenses for a particular project is made.
Membership would be granted on a basis to be agreed upon for a small yearly membership fee these funds could only be used for charitable purposes.
