I am unable to post in the corporation/alliance forums, so the next best place was here.
I would like peoples thoughts on the document, I am not looking for investors as I already have that issue covered.
I am simply looking for peoples thoughts on changes or additions to the document |

When I tried to start my own corp I wrote up a manual and in-depth founding document. Turned people off, it did.
On the other hand, yours is pretty good, but probably in the end it will prove unneccessary.
"For example, if you are thinking about selling a Republic Fleet Firetail as a regular Firetail, be sure that the market volume is high on regular Firetails and that there are plenty of buy/sell contracts for Republic Fleet Firetails. [...] The players most interested in Republic Fleet Firetails are going to be players flying regular ones."-á -- PB |

All feed back is good feed back none the less. This document is in no way the advertisement of the guild, that will be coming at a later stage. |

TL DR.
That's how many people will feel about it. This is a game after all and you're making it look like work. While being organized ect is to be applauded, your run of the mill eve player probably doesn't want to mess with it.
Maybe make a short version that would fit in a recruitment post.
I've looked at and even join corporations that had similar documents, they were horrible and not fun.
The fact that you've taken the time and put this amount of thought into how you're going to go about it bodes well I suppose. Just don't make your corp members read it :)
I plan on living forever.......so far, so good. |

First thought:
This reads like a template for a business project proposal in a large company.
With each section I keep wondering what the original project proposal was for and for what company. Then I wondered how many managers the project had. I then decided that maybe this was for a government organization since the use of 'stakeholders' comes up time and time again. Finally, I decided that this is taken from a governmental template of an Australian government department and possibly the Department of the Prime Minister (dpmc).
I would suggest a rewrite to something that is more of a project plan than a proposal. Skip the fluff that isn't required for the creation of a corp and its move to Wormhole space. There is no need for 'Business Objectives' (the corp is not a business and the plan you are laying out isn't one either), 'Product Description' or 'Deliverables.'
If you want to write the framework of your corporation then do so by stating clearly the scope, vision, mission statement, objective, and policies thereof.
If you want to further describe your corporation's plan of action then, by all means, write a project plan with milestones.
But, please, stop mixing formats of a proposal with a plan. A wormhole location is not a deliverable. It wasn't created. Instead, you are looking for the milestone of having found an appropriate location after the activity of searching for a location. I can see why you used the term 'deliverable' for location but... really.. ergh. That's a personal preference on my part.
I loved the "Estimated Cost" section. That one made me giggle. Are your costs in ISK? hours? Dollars?
Anyway, my suggestion: Rewrite this into something other than a Scope Statement for a Governmental organization. EVE Online is a game. A document like this will likely scare folk away especially those who've dealt with beaurocrazies in some manner, shape, or form.
That being written I agree that it is a very good idea to have some sort of Corporate structure written down. I think it's great that you are putting thought into your goal.
Good luck!
