Bob, I've no doubt that "all steps were in accordance with the appropriate laws", but the MoU creating a NARALO and stating the responsibilities of parties entering into an agreement did not exclusively rely upon the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and the State of Vermont concerning corporate filings -- in fact, these aren't even mentioned. The point here is to accurately state what an ALS is. The question remains, what is the successor in interest to the status of ALS #122? Is it the 2010 Vermont incorporation, or something else? You could clear up two details, are the various ROBERT BRUENs (corporate officers #1, #4, and #5) one person or more than one person, and as the Secretary of State of Vermont, Corporations Division contains no other record relating to a Robert Bruen, in what jurisdiction does a filing for Cold Rain Technologies exist? Your ownership of Cold Rain Technologies is noted. I may have a few follow-up questions depending on the answers offered. Eric Brunner-Williams Eugene, Oregon
