American 2G Cooperative (A2GC) is the company that "owns" the present Lemmy community in the sense of holding the top moderator role. The purpose of this post is to provide the necessary legal info and contact details.

A2GC is a non-profit corporation seeking federal tax-exempt status under Internal Revenue Code section 501(c)(12) as a mutual or cooperative telephone company (please note it is a different type of tax-exempt non-profit entity from the usual 501(c)(3) - see IRS publication 557), and like all tax-exempt non-profit entities, we are required to publicly disclose our management structure, bylaws, financial details and so forth. While our website is still under construction, the key basics are as follows:

We are a Delaware corporation, our incorporation file number with the state of DE is 10180871, and our federal EIN is 33-4896531. Our physical office address is 16870 West Bernardo Drive, Suite 400, San Diego, CA 92127 - however, because we don't employ any full-time staff, only part-time volunteers, in-person meetings at our office location are available only by appointment. Contact details for our current corporate officers are as follows:

Ms. Mychaela Falconia, President & CTO: [email protected]
Ms. Jessica Westerman, Secretary: [email protected]
Ms. Shannon Hogan, Treasurer: [email protected]

To see our official Certificate of Incorporation, bylaws and other documents which we are required to make public, please look in our documents directory.

Please see other posts in this Lemmy community for more information about our actual work and how we seek to build a new GSM/2G network in select rural and remote locations in USA.

Questions and comments

If you would like to get in touch with us, you can do so either publicly or privately as you prefer. To contact us privately, please email any of our officers at the addresses listed above. Of course you can also send postal mail to our office address, but email will be much faster. Alternatively, if you have some suggestions or questions or comments that would be of benefit to the larger community, and may form a basis for discussion, please create an account in Lemmy fediverse (on any instance of your liking), join this community and post here. We are not on Reddit or Discord, just here on Lemmy.
