Sadly, with a good lawyer you can do anything you want, sadly even illegal activities. Pretty sad isn't it? Sader still, if you don't have a good lawyer I would play it safe and not do anything that might _force_ you to get a good lawyer.
Smile!
To figure out what to do to play it safe, contact the agency you filed as a "Member owned Co-operative" with such as the California Secretary of State. If you are a 501(c)(3) non-profit than contact the IRS. Calls can be anonymous.
I would also ask established local "member owned cooperatives" what they do.
