Hi Mathieu, Thanks for this. The memo states that one mandatory right that cannot be constrained is: "Bring suit against a third party in the corporation’s name (a “derivative suit”), including an action to remedy a breach of charitable trust or against a director for self-dealing”… Can we get a confirmation please that breach of ‘charitable trust’ is the equivalent of breach of fiduciary duty? Cheers, Chris

Dear Colleagues,
In response to questions raised about potential "other" rights of members in the membership model, please find attached a legal memo listing the rights of members under California non profit law.
You will note that these rights are sorted in categories : - the rights that are mandatory and cannot be constrained by Bylaws or contracts - rights that can altered by Bylaws or contracts
Best Mathieu
