Smaller associations in the Madison area, who are you using for phone and internet service these days? We're currently reviewing our vendor relationship after many years and would be interested in any endorsements on the metrics of service and cost. I would also be interested in knowing who might be using multiple vendors (one for phone and different one for internet) and how that's worked out for you.

IRS issues new rules to reduce donor disclosure
The Treasury Department on Sept. 6 issued proposed rules to once again reduce donor disclosure rules for certain tax-exempt groups weeks after a federal judge vacated similar guidance because there had not been a notice and comment period. Under the proposed rules, trade associations and other 501(c) tax-exempt organizations would no longer be required to report the names and addresses of major donors on their Form 990 returns to the IRS.
