Dogecoin Foundation Announces Updates On UltraPro, Bylaws - From The CoinFront

The Dogecoin Foundation seems to be up and running in full swing, having released an update on their proceedings so far.


The update includes a run-down of what they’ve been up to lately, and the milestones they’ve hit. They’ve been hard at work!


Dogecoin Foundation Bylaws


The Dogecoin Foundation has developed a set of bylaws which establishes their mission statement and their status as a non-profit organization, the nature of Foundation memberships, voting rights, meeting schedules, and more.


It establishes the process for selecting new Foundation directors, which will be done by election at the Dogecoin Foundation’s general meeting. They will have at least five members, and at most nine. A Dogecoin Foundation director can hold office for two years.

UltraPro’s Copyright


Back in June, the trading card and sports memorabilia company UltraPro announced their intention to trademark the meme Doge, a move which rallied the community. After all, if a company owned the trademark to Doge, it could present a danger to Dogecoin.


The ensuing issue eventually led to Dogecoin co-founder Jackson Palmer stepping away from the community during an argument with Moolah CEO Alex Green over what actions should be taken.


And while UltraPro announced their willingness to work with the Dogecoin community, and Jackson Palmer has since returned to the fray, the issue is far from resolved.


The Dogecoin Foundation applied for an extension of UltraPro’s trademar, and it was successfully granted. They now have two extra months to prepare their case.


Milestones


The Dogecoin Foundation has a number of milestones to meet ahead of them. They’re currently working on a website for informative and communication purposes, which will have membership capabilities as well. They’re looking for people to help with communications, establish a permanent PR team, develop policies and procedures for membership, and develop a standard operating procedure for elections.


While the Dogecoin Foundation was off to a rocky start, and initially collapsed, this second iteration seems to be much stronger and more willing to get things done.
