Yeah, I've been thinking about that. Do you think the Guild would be OK with us changing to the charitable purposes dissolution clause?

1. I don't think an SGM is that onerous a requirement. 

2. No MOU will solve the second problem, so unless the Guild proposes some additional requirement to fix it, I'm happy to allow them to take the risk. I think if they were really concerned about that they'd have made it a more prominent feature of the proposed MOU.

At any rate, (and as much as it makes me feel like a conspiracy-theorist republican) do you think it would be possible for us to sight the documents the Guild claims it has?
