After guessing IOG may have incorporated in either Colorado or Wyoming I went looking:
https://wyobiz.wyo.gov/Business/FilingSearch.aspx
Search: “intersect”
And… First entry:
Looks like a nonprofit corporation led by IOG staff at an IOG mailing address “ionosphere”. Because the Intersect nonprofit corporation is listed as “in good tax standing” that means they must have filed an IRS 1024 501c6 application last summer.
