"*The existence of the corporation begins upon the filing of the
Certificate of Incorporation with the Department of State. After the
corporate existence has begun, an organization meeting of the initial
directors designated in the Certificate of Incorporation must be held for
the purpose of adopting by-laws, electing directors and the transaction of
any other business. (See Section 405 of the Not-for-Profit Corporation
Law.)*". source <http://www.dos.ny.gov/corps/nfpfaq.asp#special>

Can Haiku Inc. please confirm whether they adopted by-laws at the initial
meeting?

I do find the situation somewhat questionable that the same board of
directors have been at the helm of Haiku Inc. (whether legal or not) for so
long. Also, that there are only annual meetings.

There has been interest here to form these By-Laws. If the current board is
incapable, and NY state law says by-laws are mandatory, then perhaps a
committee should be set up to advise the board.

This concerns me less, and I do not know what the arrangement is with
Adrien and Haiku Inc. either, but this is interesting i.e worker's comp:

"*Non-profits which have paid staff must comply with minimum wage laws, and
with the requirement in most states to obtain workers compensation
insurance.*" source
