<div dir="ltr">Hi Stephanie
<div>I will rather think that getting this account settled once
and for all, especially the interests are there and people are
volunteering to work along to ensure it worked for posterity.</div>
<div>I will equally suggest since there are uncertainty over
Estonia e-ID, we can take up Sam's option in Canada. VIP is
that our EC can access the fund when necessary and signatories
can be changed also. For me this matters a lot.</div>
<div>I thought the issue of ABR is already in the works as FC is
tinkering on template for that to be shared on or before
weekend to fast track that aspect including the assessment
afterwards.</div>

than argue endlessly about where to open a bank
account that has marginal utility given we have no
money, could somebody please turn their minds to the
ABRs and volunteer to think up what we need money for,
and draft them? Also comments on the five year plan,
so we can see if our thin dribble of travel funding is
going to be cut, depending on future revenue
calculations? Hands up, who has read it? I am sorry
folks, I do take this matter rather seriously, but we
have bigger fish to fry at the moment. This is not my
biggest priority, settling on where to open an
account.

<div>No-one has yet spoken about legal
liabilities that come from establishing a
legal entity, and I also don’t believe that
anyone has spoken to ICANN legal yet
(Currently we only exist as an entity within
the ICANN bylaws, also there are
interactions with the Empowered Community
responsibilities that would need to be
incorporated into the establishment of any
entity).</div>

<div>I can only speak for my experience in
Finland, but the responsibilities are pretty
much as follows: 1) Names of people running the
board and electing them every two years or more
often 2) At least one official meeting in a year
setting out budget and plan for next year and
auditing the account + possibly selecting the
new board.<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>That's pretty much it.<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>The CSG has registered as a nonprofit
association in the USA and I doubt that they
asked for a permission from ICANN to establish
it. You
<i>might</i> be right though and I guess we'd
really need to ask them. That should be quite
easy to answer to, though.<br>
<br>
I'm not sure what Empowered Community
responsibilities you mean. I think our current
charters will go a long way as the charter of a
new registered nonprofit entity.<br>
