Investment Account

[Richard Laager]

Gary said he's okay being on the account.

Based on those answers, this would be my first choice:

Authorized Individuals: Matthew (is a Control Person)
                         Richard (NOT a Control Person)
                         Gary    (NOT a Control Person)
     certifying officer: John


Do we have a consensus that this is how we want to proceed? Do we 
need/want a formal motion?


Alternatively, if John doesn't want to touch it at all, we could do this:

Authorized Individuals: Matthew (is a Control Person)
                         Richard (NOT a Control Person)
     certifying officer: Gary

There are three separate roles in question here:

* Control Person
* Authorized Individual
* certifying officer


Control Person

John and Matthew are quite clearly "Control Person"s. I'm not sure if 
Gary is. It says, "A Control Person is defined as an individual person 
with significant responsibility for managing the entity (e.g., a Chief 
Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Operating Officer, 
Managing Member, General Partner, President, Vice President, or Treasurer)."

I know those are just examples, and Secretary is an officer. But I'm not 
_sure_ that it qualifies. It might (and John would know much better than 
me what is typical), but that's my concern.


Authorized Individual

These are the people we are listing on the account.

We MUST list at least one Control Person as an Authorized Individual. 
Matthew would tick that box, even if Gary does not.

Certifying Officer

"a certifying officer, other than those listed in Sections 2 and 3, must 
sign this application, unless there are no other officers of the 
corporation aside from those listed."

It does seem that Gary is an officer and thus could be the "certifying 
officer".

So the tricky thing here is that if we list Gary as an Authorized 
Person, then he can't be the officer "other than [Authorized Persons]" 
who is required to sign the application. That leaves John as the only 
officer left.
