RE: [nc-budget] MY RECOLLECTION OF OUR RESOLUTION OF TODAY



Thank you Chuck for your excellent summary.

I wish to add an important correction: it is about incorporating
"DNSO Professional Support Fund" (not an independent incorporation
of the DNSO; the DNSO is by Bylaws a part of ICANN, and nobody
intends to change it).
To open a bank account, to collect money, and to spend it for NC needs,
a legal frame is necessary. It is the purpose of this association.
And yes, indeed, a non-US centric look, an international legitimacy.

Vany, you can find both texts in our archives.
