Opening an account for NPOC, NCUC and NCSG in Estonia

[Raoul Plommer]

Respectfully, I'd like to disagree. This wouldn't really change anything.
The problem is, and has been, that the signatories would have to be then
people who are visiting USA or Canada and I don't think that's fair in our
diverse global organisation. Of course it's straightforward to open an
account in Canada by a Canadian with another Canadian signator, but that's
not what we wanted to accomplish here.

Why we suggested Estonia, was because it is actually very flexible to *change
signatories to ppl who live almost anywhere in the world* and they wouldn't
have to come to Estonia to do so. Estonia also has less restrictions, on
who *can* be a signatory in USA or Canada, as far as I know. For example,
both of our FC members are African and I think it would make sense that at
least one of them is a signatory.

Yes, Estonia is cutting edge with its e-residency ID (that's hardly a
fault), but it's just as reliable as most European countries. If you opened
an account in Canada for NCSG Stephanie, the new signatories would have to
be visiting Canada or USA and we would be back right where we started.

We could probably even use a Finnish bank that has branches in Estonia,
like Handelsbank or Nordea. The latter is the biggest bank in the Nordic
countries and I think at least that one is just as reliable as a big
Canadian bank.
