Are DCI corps actually required to be a non-profit?  Lots of independent WGI groups are not although I know that’s not the same. 

DCI requires it for all competing corps, both world and open, as well as level 3 SoundSport ensembles.

And back on-topic:  So, what is the most surprising staff move so far (SCV aside)?

The DCP World was stunned, but only in that it didn't happen six years ago.

DCI bylaws clearly state that in order to participate you have to have 501C status.

So if nonprofit is revoked by State of CA for non-compliance, SCV is automatically removed from 2024 tour?   If this is going to happen I hope it happens fast & not, like, in May 2024.

So, I suppose if SCV is not officially in good standing with State of California as a non-profit in 2 weeks DCI should put the kibosh on any participation in DCI tour or contests until they are in good standing.  
 

Should we take bets on whether DCI BoD will have the guts to do this?

It should not be hard.  DCI BoD should follow the rules.  If they knowingly allow an organization that is not in legal compliance to participate, do they then open up DCI to some liability?   DCI needs to be talking to their legal counsel (& listen to them, even if it isn’t what they want to hear).

All of these issues have been resolved before SCV announced. Several corps have multiple Tax ID,s and file 990;s under each Tax ID.  Look at  what the Cadets did pickup a new Tax ID from an inactive group and change the name.  Active Tax ID's with 501C status can be purchased.
