Not the CFO fault :-)

Our fiscal year run from june to june. The Foundation was created in 
2003, but I am not sure the 990 2003 would make much sense to you. I 
never saw it myself, though I was told my name appeared on it.
The 990 of 2004 was only recently sent. It actually contains some errors 
which should be fixed soon. Since it is a public document, I suppose we 
can put it on Foundation website once fixed? Or add a link if it is 
available somewhere on the web ? Will check that.
As for the 990 2005, it is too early for it to exist.
