[ga] Is there a businessman or a business lawyer on the list?

[Jefsey Morfin <jefsey@wanadoo.fr>]

Should the leaders of an organization of which you are a Member write to 
you instead of publishing the organization budget as required by their 
Charter they try to abrogate:

"In the past the secretariat had presented a budget (with separate and 
variable costs for third party employment, web design, web hosting, travel 
etc) and assumed fee income would cover this. It did not and the 
organization incurred a deficit. Income from subscriptions in 2001 will 
more than cover the secretariat fee.

Detailed financial information is not appropriate to publish on the 
membership mailing list. Should any member wish to know more detail please 
telephone one of the reps. The secretariat can provide contact information."

1. would you think it to be genuine or a fake?
2. would you think this organization is a secret fraternity or an open 
business association?
3. who do you thing will be responsible for the debts?
4. would you think such an organization might be a Member of the ICANN 
structure?
5. would you assume such an organization could be a Constituency and could 
pay a DNSO yearly fee?
6. would you assume such an organization might have important debts?
7. would you feel secure in serving as a secretariat for them? (I feel our 
first duty is to the people we call upon). would you think the members have 
any control on the secretariat?

In case you might want to know if this piece of pure crystal transparency 
and honesty to the people waiting for their money and to the members is 
true or a fancy of mine, the only hint I will give for now is that this 
post was not issued by the Internet Enterprises Constituency bootstrap.
