One substantive change, one stylistic change.

Stylistic: unless DC has some weird operation of law for its corporate meetings, the "BE IT RESOLVED" and such language is extraneous. 

Substantive: I'd suggest we change "shall rent" in paragraph 1 to "is authorized to rent" for the simple purpose that if we ever are unable or unwilling to pay for the PO Box any longer, we can simply stop doing so without being in breach of the resolution and having to call a meeting to change it. (the change is not necessary for paragraph 3 as it is implicit in the renting of the box, and there's no reason not to have two keys).

For the purposes of accepting registration by mail and other things, I
propose that the Society register for a PO Box. Here is the draft of
the motion:

A motion to rent a Post Office box

Moved by:

BE IT RESOLVED THAT:
1. The Board of Directors shall rent a 3 inch by 5.5 inch Post Office
box at the Friendship Post Office at 4005 Wisconsin Avenue NW,
Washington, DC 20016.
2. The Treasurer is authorized to spend $96.00 for the purpose of
renting the Post Office box for a yearlong period.
3. Two keys shall be ordered for the Post Office box, with the
Secretary and Treasurer each receiving one.

This looks reasonable enough.  Some copy-editing below:

"Resolved, that:

1. The Corporation shall rent a 3 inch by 5.5 inch Post Office
box at the Friendship Post Office at 4005 Wisconsin Avenue NW,
Washington, DC 20016;

2. The Treasurer is authorized to spend $96.00 for the purpose of
renting said Post Office box for a one-year period; and

3. Two keys shall be ordered for said Post Office box, with the
Secretary and Treasurer each receiving one."
