Howdy all.

Just joined the list, via noticing it mentioned in a footnote in Prof.
Hasen's article "Chill Out: A Qualified Defense of Campaign Finance
Disclosure Laws in the Internet Age".

As an opening contribution: FEC REG 2015-03 — see
https://www.makeyourlaws.org/fec/laundering @ top for a clean PDF — is
on the FEC agenda for tomorrow. Hopefully it should get approved for
NOA pro forma (i.e. without last month's … whatever that was).

My understanding is that the official @fec.gov comments email should
go up either Friday or sometime early next week.

I'd welcome feedback, official or otherwise.

Sincerely,
Sai
President, Make Your Laws PAC/C4/C3

PS For on context, I'm the person who wrote the Bitcoin AOR that got
approved unanimously, AO 2014-02, and the foreign nationals IP
contributions AOR, 2014-20. See https://www.makeyourlaws.org/fec for
details.

And no, I'm not a lawyer, though I am applying for law school in the
next couple months and would appreciate suggestions on where might be
a good fit. (My interests are mainly civil rights, political,
administrative, & disability law, and appellate litigation, with no
particular geographic ties.)
