I am forwarding this email into the Legal Sub Team for further consideration and response. Greg Shatan ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Perez Galindo, Rafael <RPEREZGA@minetur.es> Date: Wed, May 13, 2015 at 12:45 PM Subject: [CCWG-ACCT] Questions on unincorporated SO/AC To: CCWG Accountability <accountability-cross-community@icann.org> Dear all We have been going over the Legal Memorandum conducted by Sydley and Adler&Colvin dated May 3, and we have some (I believe easy) preliminary questions to ask regarding the creation of an unincorporated SO/AC. 1. It is stated in the report that the new association would have to file a statement with the California Secretary of State indicating some information, in order to establish a record with regulatory authorities of the unincorporated association’s existence. The question is whether this inscription in the record is subject to any fee, and if yes, the amount of that fee. 2. In addition, would this unincorporated SO/AC be subject to the payment of any kind of taxes, duties, tariffs, charges, rates or tributes? I guess that is not the case, since it would have no economic activity, but just to be sure. 3. Last, would the unincorporated SO/AC have any duties regarding administrative burdens or periodic obligations, such as the handing over of some kind of annual balance or activity report? In other words, are there any legal obligations regarding the need to demonstrate that the association is active? May I kindly ask the legal team / Counsel to answer these questions?
